Samurai
2016-04-06T17:33:27Z
<p>Sher-e-Bengal: /* In the anime */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Samurai.png|thumb|250px|Samurai]]<br />
'''Samurai''' (Japanese: '''サムライ''' ''Samurai'') is a young boy who lives in [[Viridian Forest]] and dresses up in {{wp|samurai}} armor. He specializes in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and carries around a sword and a bug-catching net. He appears to have been inspired by the {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s in the [[Pokémon games]], with the exception of the samurai armor.<br />
<br />
He is the very first [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} and the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{Ash}} had a fair {{pkmn|battle}} against.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
Samurai appeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} were traveling through Viridian Forest since Ash intended to catch more Pokémon. As he was about to catch a {{p|Weedle}}, Samurai jumped out of the bushes and threatened him with his sword, asking him if he was was from [[Pallet Town]]. Samurai challenged Ash to a battle, having already lost to {{Gary}} and the other two Trainers from Pallet Town.<br />
<br />
Because of the confusion caused by Samurai's yelling and sword-waving, the Weedle escaped. Samurai insulted Ash, saying that he is a "bad Trainer". Because of that, they challenged each other to a Pokémon battle. Samurai's powerful {{p|Pinsir}} knocked out [[Ash's Pidgeotto]]. Ash sent out his {{AP|Metapod}} and made him use {{m|Harden}} to damage Pinsir's pincers. Samurai sent out his own Metapod, and the two Pokémon, being unable of using any move besides Harden, were locked in a complete stalemate for hours.<br />
<br />
Their match was interrupted by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}, apparently angered by Ash attacking the Weedle earlier. The Beedrill snatched Ash's Metapod and flew off. The trio hid in Samurai's cabin, where the boy continued to berate and insult Ash, saying that Ash was not a good Trainer to his Pokémon because he didn't go rescue his Metapod when the Beedrill attacked.<br />
<br />
Ash eventually gained Samurai's respect when he used his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Butterfree}} to put the Beedrill to sleep by using {{m|Sleep Powder}} and reunited with his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
At the end of the episode, Ash, Misty, and Samurai say good-bye, and the two boys promise to battle again some day.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' and ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''.<br />
<br />
He made a cameo appearance with his Pinsir in the [[The Rivals|second opening theme]] and its English dub counterpart, {{so|Pokémon World}}.<br />
<br />

|desc={{p|Pinsir}} was the first Pokémon Samurai used in his match against [[Ash]]. It was able to defeat {{AP|Pidgeotto}} easily with {{m|Tackle}} (though Pidgeotto was already weakened from its previous battle against a wild Weedle), but when it tried to break {{AP|Metapod}} in half with its pincers, Metapod used {{m|Harden}} and the attack backfired.<br />
<br />
Through a flashback, it is known that Samurai also used Pinsir to battle the {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} that {{an|Professor Oak}} gave to the other Trainers from [[Pallet Town]], and lost.<br />
<br />
Pinsir's only known move is {{m|Tackle}}{{tt|*|Pinsir cannot learn Tackle in the games}}.}}<br />

[[File:Samurai EToP.png|thumb|250px|Samurai and {{Ash}} in the manga]]<br />
Samurai makes a cameo appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. In the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he, along with [[A.J.]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make plans to find the [[Hidden Village]], where powerful wild Pokémon supposedly live. Samurai is particularly interested in [[level]] 99 {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Magikarp}} rumored to live there. He and A.J. are separated from Ash and Brock when Pikachu goes missing.<br />
<br />
Samurai appears to be a little older in the manga than he is when he appears in the anime. He also appears taller and thinner, with a predilection for using words like, "Verily!"<br />

Transportation in the Pokémon world
2015-11-11T14:09:27Z
<p>Sher-e-Bengal: Undo revision 2353178 by Tripplekittys (talk) poor style and not needed info</p>
<hr />
<div>{{Unsatisfactory}}<br />
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].<br />
<br />
==Land==<br />
===Shoes===<br />
====Normal shoes====<br />
These are the primary way of getting around in the Pokémon series of games. Excluding [[Generation VI]], the {{player}} starts with these in the beginning of the game, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by pressing either Up, Down, Right, or Left on the D-Pad.<br />
<br />
====Running Shoes====<br />
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[Running Shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in most buildings however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be triggered on and off by using the touch screen.<br />
<br />
===Cycles===<br />
====Bikes====<br />
[[File:DP Bicycle.png|200px|thumb|{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on bikes in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'']]<br />
=====Generation I and II=====<br />
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, only a basic [[bicycle]] is sold by the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. Bicycling is not allowed in most buildings.<br />
<br />
=====Generation III=====<br />
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycles: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].<br />
<br />
The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded by a [[NPC]], and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.<br />
<br />
The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112|Hoenn}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button is held for several seconds, the Acro Bike will perform "bunny hops". Bunny hops allow the player to jump onto and along rugged rock paths, such as those found on [[Jagged Pass]]. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to jump over small gaps.<br />
<br />
=====Generation IV=====<br />
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This model however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II.<br />
<br />
=====Generation V=====<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the bicycle is similar to the ones in Generations I and II. The bike cannot be ridden in most buildings.<br />
=====Generation VI=====<br />
In {{g|X and Y}}, the bicycle is exactly the same as in Generation V, but comes in two colors.<br />
<br />
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} bring back the the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}} from {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. However, these games add the ability to have both bikes at once after certain conditions have been met. <br />
=====In the anime=====<br />
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows {{an|Misty}}'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason why Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters, up until {{series2|Best Wishes}}, owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed. In the original series, Ash, Misty, Brock used Nurse Joy's bicycles in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' to give medicines to another Nurse Joy in an unknown town. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling on {{si|Cycling Road}}, they used bikes. {{an|Barry}} is also seen with a bike in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''.<br />
<br />
===={{wp|Motorcycle|Motorbikes}}====<br />
[[File:Wes's Motorcycle.png|left|thumb|Wes's motorcycle, as seen in the beginning of {{g|Colosseum}}]]<br />
=====In the games=====<br />
In {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Wes]] rides a futuristic levitating motorcycle.<br />
<br />
The {{tc|Biker}}, {{tc|Roughneck|Cue Ball}}{{tt|*|Cue Balls are shown with motorcycles in FireRed and LeafGreen only}}, and [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] Trainer classes use motorbikes. <br />
<br />
=====In the anime=====<br />
Motorbikes have been used by [[Officer Jenny]] multiple times.<br />
A [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] used a motorcycle in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' when he was chasing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Trucks===<br />
[[File:Trucks anime.png|220px|thumb|right|A group of trucks in the anime]]<br />
====Moving truck====<br />
A truck is used by the player's family to move from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] in {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}. The player starts the game [[Inside of Truck|inside of the truck]].<br />
<br />
====[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne truck]]====<br />
A truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the S.S. Anne, in Red and Blue. There were rumors that one can get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In FireRed and LeafGreen, if the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, as possibly a reference to the rumors.<br />
<br />
====[[Skyarrow Bridge]]====<br />
Trucks can be seen on the Skyarrow Bridge. They are driving on the road beneath the walkway for pedestrians.<br />
<br />
====[[Unova Route 4]]====<br />
Trucks can be seen driving on the highway.<br />
<br />
====In the {{pkmn|anime}}====<br />
In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', {{an|Misty}} ships her Pokémon Princess Dolls that she won from the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]] home to the [[Cerulean Gym]] in a Pidgeot Transport truck.<br />
<br />
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] own a teal coloured truck with a [[Pidgeot]] on its side. The truck was only seen in ''[[Oaknapped]]''.<br />
<br />

===Trains===<br />
====Magnet Train====<br />
The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]], connecting [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Generation IV remakes]]. It was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a {{key|IV|Pass}}, which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the [[Copycat (character)|Copycat]] if the player returns her doll which was given to her by the player in Generation I and the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Generation III remakes]] and found by a person in [[Vermilion City]].<br />
<br />

A freight train appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]].

Used by Team Rocket in many episodes. Some balloons were shaped as a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, a {{p|Sneasel}}, a {{p|Gliscor}}, a {{p|Carnivine}}, and a {{MTR}}. A hot air-balloon was also used by Ash and {{Ashfr}} in the episode ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a {{p|Pikachu}} one in Mewtwo Returns, and by various contestants, including Ash, in ''[[EP202|The Big Balloon Blow-Up]]''. There were also others in various other episodes like ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'' and in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Hot air balloon-like aircraft or dirigibles were also used in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however it possessed the notable difference of seeming to be driven forward in the air by Pokémon (in the episode's specific usage, Charizard).<br />

<br />
===={{wp|Flying car (fiction)|Air car}}====<br />

<br />
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the S.S. Spiral was a regular looking ship. However, in {{game|Platinum}}, it had a redesign. The S.S. Spiral became a red boat with a crane on the back, and, its possible namesake, two spinning drills to part the ice floes in the area from Snowpoint City to the Battle Zone.<br />
<br />
====S.S. Libra====<br />
{{main|S.S. Libra}}<br />
The S.S. Libra runs from [[Orre]] to other regions and is used as a Pokémon cargo ship.

[[File:Riding on Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon riding on other Pokémon]]<br />
Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race.

'''Marill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マリル''' ''Maril'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fairy}} Pokémon, and prior to [[Generation VI]], a pure {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Azurill}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Marill is a small, blue bipedal Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white underside, and has round ears with red insides. These sensitive ears can detect distant sounds. Its arms and feet are short and posses no visible digits. It also possesses a zigzagging black tail with a blue, bubble-like ball on the end of it. The tail is flexible and configured to stretch and the ball is full of oil. The oil is lighter than water, and keeps Marill afloat in the water. [[AG032|In the anime]], Marill was shown to be able to bounce on its tail.<br />
<br />
Marill is able to swim in strong water currents without being slowed down by the water's resistance, due to its water-repellent fur. Marill feeds on aquatic plants in addition to fishing for food. When it dives, its tail can be seen bobbing on the water's surface. It will anchor its tail around a tree when fishing at the edge of a fast moving stream. It lives on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.<br />
<br />

''This Aqua Mouse Pokémon evolves into Azumarill. The round ball on the end of its tail acts like a flotation device, so it can float safely on the roughest of water conditions. It resides on [[Mt. Mortar]] in seclusion; few of the creatures are ever seen. Marill's cuteness has earned it a large and loyal fan base.''<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Alpha mariru.png|thumb|150px|right|Early concept art for Marill]]<br />
* Marill's early design had a pink body instead of blue, noticeably smaller ears, and lacked the erratic tail pattern.<br />
* For months prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu", likely because of its slight resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}.<br />
** It is even referred to as "Pikablu" on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]].<br />
* Because {{p|Azurill}}'s gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill have a one in three chance of evolving into a male Marill prior to [[Generation VI]]. Whether or not this will happen is determined by its [[personality value]]. Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this.<br />
* Marill's name was originally spelled '''Marril''', as shown in some merchandise for [[M01|the first movie]].<br />
* Since its introduction, Marill has been available in every Japan-centric regional [[Pokédex]].<br />
* As of [[Generation VI]], no other Pokémon have [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|the same type combination]] as Marill and its evolution.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Marill may be based upon a combination of a {{wp|mouse}} and a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}. Its body and ears also resemble a {{wp|water molecule}}.<br />
<br />
It may be possibly based on the {{wp|rakali}} (''Hydromys chrysogaster''), who are said to live in burrows on the banks of rivers, lakes and estuaries, and are commonly known as {{wp|water rat}}s.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Marill and Maril may be a combination of 丸い ''marui'' (''round'' or ''circular'') or 鞠 ''mari'' (ball), 瑠璃 ''ruri'' ({{wp|lapis lazuli}}), and possibly ''rill'' (a small river or brook). It may also be derived from マリンブルー ''marine blue'', an old name for {{wp|navy blue}}.<br />
<br />
Another possible origin could be an old Celtic/German name "Marilla" which means bitter or shining sea, tying in to its type.<br />
<br />

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature Pokémon of the anime series, and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===History===<br />
====[[Original series]]====<br />
=====Kanto=====<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]<br />
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|In the anime|Professor Oak's Laboratory}} to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to the next town in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had received multiple life-threatening wounds in the fight.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png|thumb|220px|Ash and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]<br />
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time. <br />
<br />
Pikachu participated in Ash's first Gym battle with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his Electric-type attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a rematch, where Pikachu managed to defeat Brock's Geodude thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again. Onix was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric attacks dealt quite some damage. However despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again. Pikachu's Thunderbolt managed to turn on the gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, Ash was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and Ash decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the Boulder Badge.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]<br />
Pikachu's next major battle was against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. Lt. Surge laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using Thunder Shock which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu and forfeit. Pikachu however was determined to defeat Raichu and kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with the [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.<br />
<br />
Later Ash challenged Lt. Surge for a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got smacked to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail him. Raichu then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish Pikachu off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn in the Pikachu stage, such as Agility and Quick Attack. Through Pikachu's use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu however used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. Raichu then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was out-sped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the [[Thunder Badge]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'' Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Abra}}. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightining to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back at Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash Pikachu to the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match. <br />
In Ash's rematch with Sabrina in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra however quickly used {{m|Recover}} negating the damage it had taken. At that moment Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. This gave Ash the win as well as earning the [[Marsh Badge]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into another group of Pikachu, which was a very rare find. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu, but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. Pikachu refused to leave Ash, however, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon in Ash's seventh Gym battle, where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his fast movements to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffctive. Despite being immune to electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way it had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an electric attack but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heats the air surrounding Magmar making electric attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu back and almost caused him to fall of the battlefield in the lava. Ash then decided to forfeit the match.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]<br />
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all the opposing Pokémon at once, causing Machamp, Rhydon and Kingler to run away in fear and defeating Arbok and Weezing.

Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail however protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail.

As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. Electivire then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks however proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out. <br />

However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}.

Pikachu was able to get to up and show his strength, Mega Lucario used {{m|Metal Sound}}, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Mega Lucario as well, then Mega Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Tomb, Mega Lucario jumped and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail, but Mega Lucario clashed with Bone Rush to reduce Iron Tail's power, then both Pokémon crashed into the ground, but both were standing but weak, Mega Lucario's {{m|Power-Up Punch}} was countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere with Electro Ball, Pikachu then used Thunderbolt finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}} after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt won't break their cage, Pikachu tries to ram it but keeps getting hurt until the cage make a hole. Goomy manages to escape, but Pikachu couldn't go through until Goomy uses its slimy body around Pikachu making him slip right through the cage. After getting out, they both run off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gives chase. When Pikachu and Goomy was about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash came by to protect them. When Team Rocket was about to steal Pikachu in the same cage again, Ash tells him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage in the process. Then while battling their foes, Pikachu use Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} uses {{m|Psybeam}}, confusing Pikachu which makes him attack Fletchinder instead. As they were about to be finished by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy protected them and uses {{m|Bide}} to send it back at Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash tells Pikachu to finish off Team Rocket with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wants to go with them, allowing him to capture it.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside with {{AP|Sliggoo}} was used in a Tag Battle against [[Tierno]]'s {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Before the battle can start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket. But Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with {{m|Dragon Breath}}. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and {{an|Serena}} to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into {{AP|Goodra}} to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their Double Battle, and after a hard fight, Pikachu and Goodra won with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby using its ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby used {{m|Dig}} which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. It then used {{m|Double Slap}} but Pikachu used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with its ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used its new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of {{type|Electric}} moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's {{m|Thunder Fang}}. It then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with {{m|Swift}}, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three versus three battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}} although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's {{m|Headbutt}}. After Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Breath}} collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail, Sawyer had Bagon use {{m|Dragon Claw}} but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.<br />
<br />
In [[XY078]], Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visit the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they are tricked by Team Rocket who separates the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with a Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one, which he accepted, defeating his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group were invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.<br />
<br />
===Personality and characteristics===<br />
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]<br />
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.<br />
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}<br />
<br />
During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.<br />
<br />
As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.<br />
<br />
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary golems#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches. <br />
<br />
The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.<br />
<br />
However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Panpour, Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior.<br />
<br />
Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary golems|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.<br />
<br />
Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes they succeed with nets, cages or capsules, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of time in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.<br />
<br />
Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.<br />

*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to "Leer right back" by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still. <br />
*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.<br />
*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.<br />
*'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.<br />
*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.<br />
*'''Thunder-Volt Tackle''' is a move combination between Ash's Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. Pikachu starts by using Volt Tackle towards Paul's Electabuzz, who grabs him and uses Thunder on him to supercharge the Volt Tackle. This was used in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' to sever the cables with which Team Galactic's helicopters were carrying Veilstone City's meteorites.<br />
*'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}]]<br />
*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.<br />
*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.<br />
* '''Thunder Whirlpool''' was used in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' where it was used by Pikachu and {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in order to win a tag battle against [[Kato]] and [[Kiko]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Beautifly}}. First Piplup used {{m|Whirlpool}} which trapped Heracross and Beautifly inside at which point Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} to electrify it, knocking out both opponents at the same time.<br />
*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
*'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.<br />
*'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. While blocking {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack to protect {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu absorbed some of its opponent's electricity. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, it transferred Thundurus's excess energy into its attack, causing the Electro Ball to crackle with blue lightning and swell to incredibly massive proportions. This supercharged Electro Ball dealt great damage to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.<br />
*'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.<br />
*'''Draco Meteor Climb''' was a countering method Ash improvised during his Gym battle with [[Grant]] in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''. By using Iron Tail, Pikachu was able to jump on and avoid being hit by Grant's {{p|Tyrunt}}'s {{m|Draco Meteor}}. This was based on Ash's counter method to {{m|Rock Tomb}}, called "Rock Tomb Climb".<br />
*'''Aura Sphere Climb{{tt|*|The official name of this improvisation is completely conjectural and hasn't been confirmed by TV Tokyo or Cartoon Network.}}''', similar to Draco Meteor Climb, was used in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'' in order to counter [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}}.<br />

==In the games==<br />
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}<br />
{{bulbanews/2|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}<br />
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.<br />

[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]<br />
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series<br />
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.<br />
<br />
Like in the anime, Pikachu was {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン=リュック ピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').<br />
<br />
Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with [[Sabrina]], he is easily bested by her Abra.<br />
<br />
Pikachu likes Misty and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.<br />

[[File:Ash Pikachu PDP.png|thumb|left|180px|Ash's Pikachu in Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]]<br />
Ash's Pikachu, along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, makes a cameo appearance in the bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] {{pkmn|manga}} series. In the bonus chapters, Ash and friends have mistakenly wandered into the Magical Pokémon Journey world and are trying to return back to the world of the {{pkmn|anime}}, encountering many unusual situations along the way, including encounters of aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which are different in anime canon.<br />
<br />
Ash's Pikachu shows a video to {{MPJ|Pikachu}} of him bouncing a [[Poké Ball]] on his head in [[One Hundred Fifty-One]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===<br />
Ash's Pikachu appears as a main character in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} manga, which is based on the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime.<br />

* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.<br />
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー サトシとピカチュウ いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.<br />
* Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br />
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary golems|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.<br />
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.<br />
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.<br />
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.<br />
*** There were also non-verbal hints as early as ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', where Pikachu was seen carrying one of the packages immediately after the narrator mentioned that the males during Princess Day are relegated to carrying the packages.<br />
** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.<br />
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.<br />
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].<br />
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.<br />
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.<br />
* Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig}}, or {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.<br />
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.<br />
*Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.<br />
* Pikachu didn't learn any moves in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.<br />
*Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.<br />
*As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only five confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in: ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'' and ''[[XY078]]''.<br />
<!--* Pikachu has used moves introduced in every generation except for Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] and [[Generation VI|VI]].--><br />
<br />
===Pikachu's language===<br />
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:<br />
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)<br />
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)<br />
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)<br />
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)<br />
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)<br />
* Pikachu-Pika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)<br />
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)<br />
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)<br />
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)<br />
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught ''{{TP|Iris|Gible}}'' in ''[[SS028]]''.<br />
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.<br />
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.<br />
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"<br />
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."<br />

<p>Sher-e-Bengal: /* Generation I */</p>
<hr />
<div>{{incomplete|article|Add the exterior and interior maps of vertical gates for all generations (including Generation VI) and the Vermilion Port, Kanto Safari Zone/Pal Park, Bellchime Trail, Olivine Port, Amity Square and Fight Area gates as well as of the Pokémon League Reception Gate and (Johto) Safari Zone Gate}}<br />
'''Gates''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ゲート|gēto}}''' ''gate'') are prominent features of [[route]]s in the [[Pokémon world]]. They are located at junctions between different routes, or placed between a route and a [[city]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===Generation I===<br />
In [[Generation I]], gates serve to separate two areas and to guard the corresponding [[route]], which is why a gatekeeper usually resides inside. Upon speaking to the gatekeeper, they may offer words of advice or information about the route or city that the gate guards.<br />
<br />
Gates usually share the background music with one of the two or more areas that they connect and this remained a consistent element of gates up to [[Generation V]], where gates finally received their own background music. Gates aren't locations on their own either, which is another element that was changed in Generation V, where gates are now locations by themselves.<br />
<br />
Certain gates contain a second floor that features a spot where binoculars can be used to see faraway landmarks or even certain Pokémon. In some of these, the {{player}} will usually encounter one of [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professors' aides|aides]]. He will check the [[Pokédex]] and will reward the player if he or she has caught a given number.<br />
<br />
Seven gates block the player from passing them until they meet certain requirements:<br />
* give a {{DL|Drink|Fresh Water}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, {{DL|Drink|Soda Pop}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, {{DL|Drink|Lemonade}}{{sup/1|RGB}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/1|Y}}, purchasable at the [[Celadon Department Store]] to the thirsty gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|5|Kanto|Routes 5}}, {{rt|6|Kanto|6}}, {{rt|7|Kanto|7}} and {{rt|8|Kanto|8}}, all of which lead to [[Saffron City]];<br />
* obtain the [[Bicycle]] so that the gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|16|Kanto|Routes 16}} and {{rt|18|Kanto|18}} allows the player to go through and enter {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}};<br />
* obtain all 8 [[Badge|Gym Badges]] and show each one to the 8 gatekeepers at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate|Pokémon League Front Gate]] on {{rt|22|Kanto}} and at {{rt|23|Kanto}} to grant access to {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]].<br />
<br />
Riding the Bicycle inside the gates is not possible in Generation I.<br />

<br />
===Generation II===<br />
Much like [[Generation I]], gates serve to separate two areas. Unlike other buildings, the {{player}} can often ride their [[Bicycle]] through these buildings to guarantee fast transportation. None of the gates have second floors, including those in [[Kanto]] that had them in Generation I.<br />
<br />
At the gate leading to {{rt|35|Johto}}, to the north of [[Goldenrod City]], is gatekeeper {{jo|Webster|Randy}}, a [[non-player character]], who will give a {{p|Spearow}} to the player that holds [[Mail]] to be delivered to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}}.<br />
<br />
Four gates forbid the player to enter until he/she meets certain requirements:<br />
* in [[Ecruteak City]], the player must have the [[Legendary artifacts#Rainbow Wing|Rainbow Wing]]{{sup/2|GS}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} and the [[Legendary artifacts#Clear Bell|Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}{{sup/4|HG}} or [[Legendary artifacts#Tidal Bell|Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}} to pass the gate that leads to [[Bellchime Trail]] (a location that is unnamed and considered part of Ecruteak City in Generation II), the small area outside [[Bell Tower]];<br />
* {{PDollar}}1,000 must be paid (if the player has at least that amount of money) to either {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the gate on {{rt|43|Johto}} next to the southernmost gate that connects to [[Mahogany Town]] but only before defeating [[Team Rocket]] at [[Team Rocket HQ]] (called Rocket Hideout in [[Generation II]]);<br />
* the [[Bicycle]] is required so that the gatekeeper at the gates on {{rt|16|Kanto|Routes 16}} and {{rt|18|Kanto|18}} allows the player to go through and enter {{rt|17|Kanto|Cycling Road}};<br />

===Generation III===<br />
Gates are sparse in the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Generation III]] games. There are only two gates, each connected to the [[Seaside Cycling Road]]. {{Player|Player}}s may not ride [[Bicycle]]s as they travel away from Seaside Cycling Road, but are forced upon their Bicycle if traveling towards it. If the Bicycle has not been obtained, the gatekeeper does not allow the player to enter Seaside Cycling Road.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, which are set in [[Kanto]], gates serve the same purpose as in [[Generation I]]. The only significant change is that since players can now trade [[held item|items attached to a Pokémon]], the [[key item]] {{DL|Drink|Tea}} was introduced to prevent the player from advancing through the gates surrounding [[Saffron City]] prematurely. This key item serves the same purpose as the [[drink]] from the original games. Gates also exist in the [[Sevii Islands]], giving access from the port to each town; however, they are not used to connect areas, being instead both the entrance and exit points for the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]].<br />
<br />
The only common gates to both Hoenn and Kanto are the ones at [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]].<br />

===Generation IV===<br />
Much like in past [[generation]]s, the gates in [[Generation IV]] serve to separate two areas. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the {{player}} cannot ride their [[Bicycle]] through these buildings, but this limitation was lifted in {{v2|Platinum}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Female gatekeepers were introduced in this generation.<br />
<br />
In the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, most gates don't have gatekeepers to watch over the route, but other travelers can be found inside, as well as a [[Town Map|map]] showing the player's current location.<br />
<br />
Four gates have restrictions, however:<br />
* two of them are the gates at {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} as they are the entrance and/or exit for {{rt|206|Sinnoh|Cycling Road}};<br />
* one is at [[Hearthome City]], which connects to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} and requires the player to have met [[Fantina]]{{sup/4|DP}} or to have defeated her{{sup/4|Pt}};<br />
* one gate connecting to {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} is blocked by a reporter and a cameraman for shooting, which can't be passed until [[Veilstone Gym]] is defeated.<br />
* and the other one is at [[Fight Area]], requiring the player to have the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, set in [[Johto]] and in [[Kanto]], the gates are similar to those in [[Generation II]] and the gatekeepers in charge of guarding them are reinstated. Like in Generation II, there are no gates with second floors, taking into account those in Kanto that had them in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.<br />

<br />
===Generation V===<br />
There are gates on several routes in [[Unova]], each with a gatekeeper. Gates now have {{tt|ゲート|Gēto}} ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|Gate]]'' as background music, and each gate has a specific name (e.g.: Opelucid Gate). These names appear in-game when saving inside a gate and/or on the summary page of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} hatched inside a gate. Due to this, gates are now [[List of locations by index number (Generation V)|locations]] by themselves.<br />
<br />
Another new feature of gates in [[Generation V]] is the introduction of an electronic bulletin board and a screen on one of the walls. The electronic bulletin board displays the current date, the weather in a few adjacent routes and towns (including what location a {{p|Tornadus|windstorm}} or {{p|Thundurus|thunderstorm}} is brewing at), information about a nearby town or city, and information about where Pokémon are [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] (once the {{player}} has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]). The screen shows images from the connected location. Also in these gates are a trash can and two chairs for a quick rest. <br />
<br />
There are also some gates that only connect bridges and that have unique designs, though these gates don't have electronic bulletin boards and monitors.<br />
<br />
Two gates in {{2v2|Black|White}} impose certain requirements from the player to allow him/her to pass:<br />
* in [[Accumula Town]], Accumula Gate is blocked by two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s until [[Ghetsis]] talks to the citizens and the player battles [[N]];<br />
* [[Bianca]] will not let the player pass the Nimbasa Gate on {{rt|5|Unova}} before she shows him/her the [[Pokémon Musical|Musical Theater]] in [[Nimbasa City]].<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, two other gates instead have restrictions for the player and are the Bridge Gates at [[Marine Tube]].<br />
<br />
Six gates initially inaccessible by the player are shared between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2:<br />
* both Black Gates{{sup/5|B}}{{sup/5|B2}} or White Gates{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|W2}} on {{rt|14|Unova|Routes 14}} and {{rt|15|Unova|15}} by some men;<br />
* the Bridge Gates to [[Tubeline Bridge]] on {{rt|8|Unova|Routes 8}} and {{rt|9|Unova|9}}.<br />

<br />
==Practical use==<br />
The gates also have a practical use within the games' programming. As a {{player}} moves from a [[route]] to a town or city, the map's textures (tilesets in the first three [[generation]]s) must be loaded for each. While this is easy when a city connects to relatively few routes, where all can use the same tileset/texture, areas like [[Saffron City]] and [[Hearthome City]], which connect to many different areas, would need to load multiple tilesets/textures, which would end up crashing the game due to the system not having enough RAM to hold multiple tilesets/textures. The programmers broke up the overworld with these gates to assure crash-free gameplay, and to properly display the routes, towns and cities.<br />
<br />
In the [[Generation IV]] games, a player can use a "walk through walls" cheat to go from location to location without going through the gates. By doing this, the map textures work as expected, except for many of them appearing as white tiles. Some buildings seem to be invisible as well. The cheat can also be used in the [[Generation V]] games; however, the texture problem is very limited, if not completely absent.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Due to their design, the gates in the [[Sevii Islands]] are the only ones that have their supporting pillars built on water.<br />
** They are also the only gates that have a single access point, given that they are the gates of the islands' ports, with one common entrance and exit for the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]]. These gates are all headed north as well.<br />

<i>While Alexa is getting her video equipment repaired, Ash, Iris, and Cilan take some time off to have a relaxing lunch on shore. At least, that’s the plan, but the Pokémon keep getting into little squabbles over the food. Eventually Emolga unleashes its Discharge attack to zap everyone who’s annoying it, prompting a scolding from Iris.<br />
<br />
After lunch, Iris sees Emolga and Axew playing together, and asks Emolga to keep an eye on Axew for her. But when her back is turned, Axew disturbs a Galvantula and gets zapped! Emolga tries to help, but it runs into Axew by mistake, and Axew ends up with a nasty bump on its head. When Iris sees the bump—and the lingering electricity from Galvantula’s attack—she blames Emolga, who flies off in a huff...<br />
<br />
...only to land right in the middle of a Team Rocket strategy meeting! After a sudden battle in which Emolga takes down Woobat and Yamask, then Frillish and Amoonguss, all without breaking a sweat, Jessie adopts a new strategy and invites Emolga to become part of Team Rocket!<br />
<br />
Iris is now worried about what happened to Emolga, and our heroes set off on a search. They find Emolga with Jessie, James, and Meowth, and the villains have gotten their hands on Axew as well. The sudden appearance of an angry Exploud gives Team Rocket cover to escape, and off they go.<br />
<br />
Our heroes need to find Team Rocket and get to the bottom of what’s going on, so Charizard and Dragonite go off to look for the villains. Soon, a nasty battle ensues, and although Meowth overhears Emolga’s plan—it’s only pretending to join them so it can get back at Iris for the earlier misunderstanding—Team Rocket still has that angry Exploud to exploit! More battling ensues, but Team Rocket, along with Exploud, are sent blasting off again.<br />
<br />
All this time, Axew has been trying to let Iris know what really happened with the Galvantula, and when she finally pays attention, she finds that she can understand what Axew is thinking! Iris realizes she’s made a huge mistake by accusing Emolga of something it didn’t do. After she apologizes, everything is forgiven and life gets back to normal. Cilan even speculates that Iris’s skill at understanding Axew’s thoughts could very well be another step on her path to becoming a Dragon Master!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Waiting for the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore]] cruise ship to sail after the evening, [[Alexa]] is telling {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} that her camcorder isn't working, and that she can't take any more pictures or videos. Without further ado, Alexa and her {{p|Helioptile}} leave our heroes temporarily to repair her camcorder. Meanwhile, Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} are spending a while in a meadow, having a relaxing picnic, while realeasing all of their [[Pokémon]] to gorge down on some food. At this time, {{AP|Oshawott}} ate his meal, and then he jumped to eat {{AP|Pignite}}'s meal. Suddenly, Pignite noticed that his bowl is empty because Oshawott ate his meal. Pignite became very angry and punched Oshawott very hard, and then Oshawott knocked {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} along with her food. She was very angry at Oshawott and used {{m|Discharge}} on him for spilling her food. Then Iris arrives and warned her not to use Discharge on the other Pokémon, but Emolga ignored her warning. Later, {{AP|Scraggy}} was walking happily on the grass, when suddenly, he notes Emolga sitting on the boulder and eating her [[Pokémon food]] so nobody would disturb her again. Emolga was still angry, but Scraggy attempts to talk to her, although she turns away from him. He becomes angry with her for ignoring him and he attempts to use ''{{m|Headbutt}}'' on her, but she flies up and dodges the move, and when she notices her food spilled all over the ground she is even more furious and uses ''{{m|Discharge}}'' on him causing Iris to come by and scold Emolga once again. Later, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Emolga are playing together around the rock where {{AP|Snivy}} is sitting. <br />
<br />
Iris tells Emolga to make sure Axew does not get hurt and Emolga agrees. When they both stop by a tree, a {{p|Galvantula}} appears and hits Axew with {{m|Electro Ball}}, much to Emolga's anger. But before something could happen, the wind causes Emolga to bump into Axew as he rolls down the hill and crashes into the same rock. This causes Axew to cry and have a bump on his head. Iris, Ash, and Cilan appears to see what happened. Iris picks up her injured Axew, and Cilan checks the bump on Axew's head. Iris then accuses Emolga of attacking Axew. Emolga tries to explain, but Snivy smacked her with Vine Whip. Iris demands Emolga apologize to Axew, making Emolga really upset and causing her to cry and storm off. As Ash and his friends walk away to take care of Axew, Axew sadly looks back to where Emolga flies off.<br />
<br />
As Emolga glides through the air, she loses her balance and falls to where {{TRT}} are. Emolga then challenges Jessie and James to a battle. First James sends out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}. Emolga uses {{m|Attract}} on Yamask and Woobat, successfully infatuating both of them. She then knocks them both out with a Discharge-Hidden Power combo. Next James sends out {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} and Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}}. Since Frillish is female, Attract wouldn't have worked, but Emolga still manages to win using her Discharge-Hidden Power combo. Team Rocket goes up to Emolga and compliments her, saying she'd be a great addition to their team. Emolga begins to imagine Iris distraught at the sight of her with Team Rocket, and decides to join up with them for a little fun.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Axew is fully recovered thanks to Cilan's Super Potion. Iris was wondering what's up with Axew, causing Axew to wander off. She then realizes that Emolga didn't come back yet and Ash agrees. Ash returns all of his Pokemon, expect Snivy who wanted to stay out because she's worried about Axew. As Snivy follows Axew, Iris recalled two of her Pokemon and Cilan recalled {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. <br />
<br />
While Iris is wondering about where Emolga is, Team Rocket shows up, and recites their motto with Emolga joining in. Everyone is shocked that Emolga joined up with Team Rocket. But before Ash and his friends can act, James takes out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and distracts everyone using {{m|Haze}}. Emolga pulls Axew out of the smoke, as Snivy stops her with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Iris asks Emolga why she is doing this but Emolga turns away. Snivy and Emolga then start arguing. Meowth is a little shocked by this and decides not to tell his crew anything. Snivy attacks Emolga with Vine Whip. Emolga counters with Hidden Power but Snivy dodges. Emolga uses another Hidden Power but this time Snivy deflected it with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. The orb goes straight through the trees and through a cave where a wild {{p|Exploud}} is sleeping. This wakes up Exploud and smoke comes out of its holes. Back in the forest, Snivy gets hit by Emolga's Discharge and they start arguing again. Snivy hits Emolga with Leaf Blade as Ash and Pikachu step in to stop Snivy from fighting. Then the Exploud from the cave appears out of the bushes and launches a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash looks it up in the Pokedex but as he finishes, Exploud unleashes another Flamethrower at Ash who manages to dodge in time. It then uses {{m|ThunderPunch}} to chase them away. Using this as a perfect opportunity, Team Rocket is getting away with Emolga holding Axew. Before Iris can get her Pokémon back, Exploud attacks again with {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Ash and co. run away.<br />
<br />
Ash wonders what was wrong with the Exploud. Iris states that she just wanted to know why Emolga joined Team Rocket and expresses her anger along with Snivy. Cilan reassures Iris that he doesn't believe Emolga actually joined up with Team Rocket. Iris notes she only told Emolga to apologize to Axew for what happened to him earlier while she was playing with him, and Ash mentioned maybe that could be the reason Emolga joined Team Rocket, and Cilan states that maybe Emolga wasn't responsible for what happened to Axew and that Iris could've messed up, and this worries Iris greatly.<br />
<br />
The attention turns back to Team Rocket where Axew is protesting to Emolga trying to get her to come back with the group, but she refuses. Axew doesn't like this one bit, and his eyes grow big as he begins to cry. Emolga then pets Axew and informs him she's not really joining up with Team Rocket, and she's only doing this until Iris figures out what really happened. Unbeknownst to Emolga, Meowth is listening in on the conversation and ends up hearing everything she told Axew. Meowth then translates for Jessie and James stating that Emolga was only pretending to join Team Rocket, but she's going to mess up their next mission and then go back to Iris with Pikachu and Axew. Jessie asks in shock "Does that mean Emolga's only siding with us to grab the Twerpette's attention?" Meowth responds, "You got it." James isn't upset by this news, but Jessie and Meowth on the other hand, are absolutely furious. James tries to give his teammates an idea on how they could get back at Emolga, but he is extremely terrified when Jessie and Mewoth turn to him, and an animation is seen of a purple mist around Jessie and Meowth which shows just how furious they really are.<br />
<br />
The scene changes to Team Rocket at the cave although Jessie doesn't see any point in being there. James states "It's what's inside the cave." The trio peeks into the cave and they witness the Exploud from earlier now sound asleep. Meowth mentions "There's that cranky Exploud." James clarified, "Cranky from being awakened," he then adds, "I'm not exactly thrilled when that happens to me." Jessie gets an idea and giggles evilly and states, "Sleeping Beauty could go from hot head to big help."<br />
<br />
The scene changes to Ash's Charizard and Iris's Dragonite coming back from a search for Axew reporting where they found him and the gang runs to his rescue. Axew is seen standing on a rock looking sad and worried. Just then, Pikachu is heard calling for Axew who turns his head just as Pikachu gets caught in a trap which was dug by Team Rocket. Jessie and James recite the first two lines of the motto before Meowth stops them, and during this Emolga is seen behind a rock grooming herself, and she attempts to fly and put her plan into action, but she trips and fumbles to the ground accidentally. The attention turns back over to Team Rocket and Pikachu attempts to free himself from the net by using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but as usual with gadgets designed by Team Rocket, the attack don't work, and Pikachu is helpless. Jessie and James call out Woobat and Yamask, and Jessie states they also have Emolga helping them. Axew calls out to Iris desperate for her to save him, and Iris calls back extremely worried for him. Axew shouts out in desperation once more, as does Iris, and then Iris senses a strong emotional connection with Axew and as Axew thinks back to earlier in the day, Iris sees everything and she realizes it wasn't Emolga's fault after all and she was only trying to protect Axew after he got attacked by the Galvantula. Iris calls out to Emolga and apologizes to her for not realizing what had happened and Emolga accepts the apology. Meowth notes that now Emolga's going to go back to her friends with Axew and Pikachu, but before Axew and Emolga could escape they get trapped inside of a cage. <br />
<br />
Axew and Emolga are now trapped inside the box and Meowth pushes a few buttons on a remote, and a cage opens up and the Exploud from earlier comes out and begins attacking Emolga and Axew first with ThunderPunch and then with Flamethrower. Iris is extremely concerned for her Pokémon and she asks Dragonite to help. She instructs him to use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the cage which he does, although the attack doesn't do any damage. She then instructs him to use {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but still nothing happens to the cage and Dragonite gets knocked down to the ground. Back inside the cage Exploud uses ThunderPunch on Axew, but Emolga steps out in front of Axew and she takes the blow for him which worries Iris because of how badly Emolga was hurt. Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Wing Attack}} on the cage so it does, but just like when Dragonite attempted to destroy the cage, Charizard wasn't able to and ended up getting pushed back. Team Rocket laughs evilly and Jessie remarks, "Underestimate Team Rocket? Bad Twerps." James stated, "They'll never learn." The attention turns back to the Pokemon inside the cage, and the Exploud picks up Axew and drops him in its' mouth. This frightens Iris because she believes Axew had been eaten. Emolga fires a Hidden Power at the Exploud, which does nothing, but just then a blue beam fires out of the Exploud, and that beam was from Axew's {{m|Dragon Rage}}. The Exploud opens its' mouth and Axew hops out unharmed. Iris and Emolga both let out sighs of relief and then Ash states he and Snivy need to help Pikachu. Not letting this happen, Jessie tells Woobat to use {{m|Air Slash}} on Snivy, who manages to dodge. James tells Yamask to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Snivy dodge it as well. Ash commands Snivy to use Vine Whip, which she does repeatedly, hitting Woobat and Yamask. Ash then commands her to use Leaf Storm next which she does and Woobat and Yamask are pushed back forcefully. Ash then commands Snivy to use Leaf Blade which she does, this time she aims at the net which holds Pikachu and frees him. Pikachu cheers as Snivy grabs onto him with Vine Whip, reuniting Pikachu with Ash. Jessie noted they still had the Exploud with them. <br />
<br />
The attention turns back to the cage where the Exploud fires multiple Hyper Beams at Axew and Emolga as they run around frantically in an attempt to escape. Dragonite uses Dragon Rush on the cage and breaks it enough to free Axew and Emolga. The Exploud also gets free by using ThunderPunch to break out of the cage and it begins to chase Axew and Emolga in an attempt to use ThunderPunch on them. Ash commands Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Tail}} and Iris commands Dragonite to use Dragon Rush. Both attacks are direct hit and the Exploud is pushed back so hard that it pops Team Rocket's balloon. The Exploud throws a fit and James complains to it, Jessie tells it "Being angry is only going to raise your blood pressure." Meowth stated, "It's gonna get loud around here." The Exploud uses ThunderPunch on Team Rocket and sends them "blasting off family style," as they put it. Back to our heroes, Iris apologizes to Emolga once more for not realizing the incident earlier wasn't her fault and also thanks her for helping Axew out. Emolga nods her head and forgives Iris. Snivy then walks over and apologizes to Emolga as well (Since the incident was somewhat her fault, since she slapped Emolga with Vine Whip before Emolga even got a chance to explain to Iris what had occurred). Emolga accepts Snivy's apology as well, and she giggles as she and Axew go off to play with each other again. Iris states she has a long way to go before she will be able to truly understand her Pokémon, and Cilan comments that she will learn as she continues her journey with them.<br />
<br />
In the final scene, the gang is on their next ship and Iris fills Alexa in on everything she missed. Iris states how awesome she felt to understand everything Axew thought. Cilan comments that Iris may be one step closer to becoming a Dragon Master which really excites her and Axew. The narrator closes out the episode by stating, "And so, what started out as a misunderstanding between Iris and Emolga has ended up strengthening the bond between them. As they sail off, our heroes' are one step closer on the road to fulfilling their dreams as the journey continues."<br />

<br />
'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|金|きん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Silver'') were the first [[core series]] games of [[Generation II]] for the [[Game Boy Color]]. They were released in Japan on November 21, 1999, in North America on October 15, 2000, and in Europe on April 6, 2001. Like {{game|Red and Green|s|their predecessors}}, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In South Korea, [[Nintendo]] collaborated with {{wp|Daewon C.I.|Daewon}} to release the games in the country, which occurred on April 24, 2002; the Korean versions are solely compatible with the Game Boy Color, which was released there in 2000, also by Daewon.<ref>[http://bbs2.ruliweb.daum.net/gaia/do/ruliweb/default/nds/84/read?bbsId=G003&itemId=5&articleId=1372618 게임보이 발매 25주년 | Daum 루리웹] ([https://archive.today/CJqGo archived copy])</ref><br />
<br />
As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Yellow}} in North America and other regions, the localized versions of these games were greatly expected. Much like Red and Green (Red and Blue overseas), Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a solitary version with minor changes, {{game|Crystal}}, as well as remakes two [[generation]]s later in the form of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].<br />
<br />
Unlike earlier games, Gold and Silver take place in the [[Johto]] region, west of the region that the original games take place in, [[Kanto]]. However, Kanto can be traveled to later in the games.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
===Main game===<br />
{{ga|Ethan|The player}} begins their journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver{{sup/2|G}} or Gold{{sup/2|S}}) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the Egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.<br />
<br />
After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the Egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are legendary in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up, however, unlike the one found in [[Kanto]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}, it is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. If these Pokémon are [[Egg Group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced.<br />
<br />
Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Badge, receiving a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be occurring at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]], where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}.<br />
<br />
The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[RageCandyBar]]s. <br />
<br />
The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they receive the {{key|II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.<br />
<br />
After clearing all of the Rockets, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{key|II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{key|II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the Gold and Silver versions respectively. The player can either go to the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] or the [[Whirl Islands]] at this point, to challenge Ho-Oh or Lugia, respectively; alternatively, they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and through the [[Ice Cave]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair requires the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the player finds the item, they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], traveling down {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|46|Johto}}.<br />
<br />
Professor Elm contacts the player, and awards them with a {{DL|Poké Ball|Master Ball}} when visited. From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.<br />
<br />
The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], who specializes in {{t|Poison}} Pokémon. Following is [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]], challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, {{prof|Oak}} and his co-host on [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.<br />
<br />
===Postgame===<br />
After the credits roll, the player ends up back in [[New Bark Town]] in their room; however, Professor Elm calls, requesting a favor. After visiting his lab, he gives the player an {{key|II|S.S. Ticket}} that allows access to the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ship that travels to and from [[Kanto]], the region that Elm wishes for them to explore. On the first entry into the S.S. Aqua, a man will bump into the player, and will ask them for help as he has lost his granddaughter on the ship. After locating her in the captain's cabin and reuniting her with his grandfather, the ship will arrive in [[Vermilion City]], where the player will take their true first steps in Kanto.<br />
<br />
At this point, the player is given free reign to travel throughout the (scaled-down) Kanto region, and collect the eight Badges from [[Generation I]]'s [[Indigo League#Gym Leaders of the Indigo League|Gym Leaders]]. The player can accomplish this in any order; however, certain events must be completed before some Leaders can be challenged. For example, a Team Rocket grunt has stolen a {{key|II|Machine Part}} from the [[Kanto Power Plant]] and hidden it inside [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]]; the grunt must be fought and the Machine Part restored to the Power Plant before [[Misty]] can be found at [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the Gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Indigo {{pkmn|Champion}} {{ga|Blue}} is now its Leader; however, Blue is at the site of [[Cinnabar Island]], musing over its destruction by the local volcano's eruption. When found there, Blue will return to [[Viridian Gym]] to be battled. Blaine was the Leader of [[Cinnabar Gym]]; when the town was destroyed, he took refuge in one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.<br />
<br />
When the player has earned all eight Kanto Badges (and, therefore, all sixteen Badges in the game), Oak allows them to venture to {{rt|28|Kanto}} and, past it, [[Mt. Silver|Silver Cave]], a location where only the greatest of Trainers can venture. Silver Cave is a grand set of open tunnels and passages which are riddled with powerful Pokémon, but the player continues to travel through to the end of the cave, where {{ga|Red}}, now a [[Pokémon Master]], stands alone to be fought. When Red is defeated, the credits roll again and, afterward, the player is deposited at Route 28's [[Pokémon Center]], outside of Silver Cave.<br />
<br />
==Blurb==<br />
Enter a whole new world, with new Pokémon to capture, train and battle! Meet Professor Elm and get the all-new [[Pokégear|Poké Gear]]<!--The blurb on the back of the package has Pokégear split into two words.-->, including {{DL|Pokégear|map}}, {{DL|Pokégear|radio}}, [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] and [[Pokégear#Time|clock]]. Set the clock then watch as day turns to night and events take place in real [[time]]— and be sure to keep an eye out for Pokémon that come out only at night!<br />
<br />
==Connectivity==<br />
Pokémon Gold and Silver continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]], but also revamped it as well. Gold and Silver (as well as Crystal) introduced backwards-connectivity to the trading processes, allowing players to trade with other Generation II games, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow (and Green, in Japan). This has to be done in order to complete the Pokédex without cheating or using [[glitch]]es, since each of the games has version exclusive Pokémon which cannot be obtained in another version.<br />
<br />
The games are not compatible with games released as part of later [[generation]]s.<br />
<br />
The games were also compatible with the [[Game Boy Printer]] with the use of a [[Game Link Cable]]. Upon connectivity, players could print out pictures of Pokémon from the Pokédex or Pokémon summaries from the player's party. In Pokémon Crystal, a feature was added where players could print out a translation of {{p|Unown}}, which helped them translate ruins easier.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
===Gyms===<br />
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}). These Gyms notably feature the types not accounted for by Kanto Gyms, with the exception of the {{t|Dark}} type. Since Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, players can visit the eight Pokémon Gyms in the region, even though there have been some changes. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Janine]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and {{ga|Blue}} (various).<br />
<br />
===Elite Four===<br />
Gold and Silver introduce a new Elite Four syndicate, though it is found at the same location as it previously was in the Red and Blue versions: [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite Trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Lance]], who uses {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who were part of the Elite Four in Generation I, do not appear in Generation II, nor are they mentioned.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
The games feature 100 new Pokémon species, plus the 151 Pokémon of [[Generation I]]. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to a single player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. In addition, most Pokémon associated with events in [[Generation I]], including the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s (discounting {{game|Yellow}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}), the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Fossil Pokémon]], the [[legendary birds]], {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, are absent from all [[Generation II]] games and must be [[Time Capsule|traded over]]. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver that can ''only'' be legitimately acquired by attending a Nintendo [[event]].<br />
<br />
The Pokémon sprite designs also differ between the two games, a characteristic so far unique to this pair.<br />
<br />
====[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]====<br />
For unknown reasons, two sets of [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]], {{p|Phanpy}} and its evolution {{p|Donphan}}, along with {{p|Teddiursa}} and its evolution {{p|Ursaring}}, were swapped between the Japanese and localized releases, with the former available in Japanese Gold and international Silver and with the latter available in Japanese Silver and international Gold. However, this situation did not occur with the remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
The Korean versions of Gold and Silver do not have this change.<br />

<br />
===Pokégear===<br />
The Pokégear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The Pokégear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, or listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.<br />
<br />
===Apricorns===<br />
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. A {{ball|Lure}} is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], a Heavy Ball is used to catch large, heavy Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}, and a {{ball|Friend}} will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its Trainer much more quickly. To obtain these Balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different Balls based on their color. However, Kurt can only make one Ball at a time, and players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the Ball.<br />
<br />
===Kanto===<br />
After defeating [[Lance]], and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:<br />
<br />
* Due to a power outage, a key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]], and the garbage cans in his Gym are all empty (save for trash).<br />
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a rain-filled crater behind. <br />
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, logically because they have already been caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and a hidden item called the [[In-battle effect item#Berserk Gene|Berserk Gene]] can be found in the water near its former entrance.<br />
* [[Bill]]'s house ([[Sea Cottage]]) is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.<br />
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]]'s volcanic eruption. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.<br />
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, though he is clearly mentioned many times, as Team Rocket aims to find him.<br />
* {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge. His highest level Pokémon is a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, each at level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. The first five Pokémon are specially obtainable in Pokémon Yellow. <br />
* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her {{key|II|Lost Item|lost doll}}. According to her mother, this is the same {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll|doll}} that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].<br />
* Kanto Gym Leaders use Generation II Pokémon in addition to Generation I Pokémon.<br />
* Remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the music from various Team Rocket hideouts.<br />
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns generally remained the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrank slightly.<br />
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the {{Safari|Kanto}} can be caught in wild areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].<br />
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been removed, although a man in Celadon's Pokémon Center alludes to it.<br />
* The formerly-abandoned [[Kanto Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I).<br />
* The {{DL|Cerulean City|bike shop}} in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.<br />
* The {{ka|old man}} in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.<br />
* The [[Fighting Dojo]]'s master is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] left behind. The [[Kiyo|master]] is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. When found and defeated, he will give away a {{p|Tyrogue}}.<br />
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.<br />
* The other caverns and [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), but reduced in size.<br />
* [[Koga]], the former Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] and now a member of the [[Elite Four]], has been replaced by his daughter [[Janine]].<br />
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Lavender Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon grave sites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Access to the upper floors of this Radio Tower is restricted, a safety precaution taken as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]].<br />
* The {{ka|Safari Zone}} is closed while the [[Baoba|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] at the [[National Park]] takes its place.<br />
* The {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to vandalism. A sign cites local complaints about battles there and a local Biker Gang complains about it closing down because it was their base. <br />
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, Trainers, and pressure sensors. Trainers can be found outside, but no longer in Victory Road itself.<br />
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to shrubs, and wild Pokémon can only be caught in the grass of what used to be {{Rt|2|Kanto}}.<br />
* Route 23 has been reduced to a short path leading between {{ka|Victory Road}}'s exit and [[Indigo Plateau]].<br />
* The Pokémon Center on Route 4, outside Mt. Moon, is no longer there, leaving the player to trek all the way to Pewter City to heal their Pokémon.<br />
* The player can no longer enter Silph co's. upper levels due to increased secruity.<br />
<br />
==New features==<br />
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of storing items such as healing items, [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[key item]]s in separate compartments in the [[Bag]]. The updated battle screen showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon had until its next level and whether an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured. Also, held items raised the bar for strategy, allowing players to outspeed opponents, heal ailments, restore {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}, boost the power of moves of a specific type, or increase the Pokémon's [[friendship]], among other uses. All {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled by the player had their own unique name, and some would be available for rematches later in the game.<br />
<br />
A [[Time|time system]] was also introduced. Throughout the game, Pokémon appearances are influenced by time of day: morning, day, and night. {{p|Hoothoot}}, for example, only appears at night (since it's an owl-like Pokémon). Certain events are also determined by the day of the week, like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which is held in Johto's [[National Park]] on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Depending on the day of the week, either "[[Pokémon March]]" or "[[Pokémon Lullaby]]" can be heard on the PokéGear radio. Pokémon March raises the chance of a Pokémon appearing when the player walks into the grass, while Pokémon Lullaby decreases that chance.<br />
<br />
===Breeding===<br />
With the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}, all Pokémon belong to one or two [[Egg Group]]s. It is important to note that [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred; they are genderless, and will not breed, even with a {{p|Ditto}} (which can breed with any Pokémon capable of breeding).<br />
<br />
A baby Pokémon will be born when a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon that share at least one Egg Group are left at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. In the case of Pokémon that are always male ({{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Tauros}}, etc.), or Pokémon who can breed but whose gender is unknown ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}), the only way to produce a baby from these species is by breeding them with a Ditto.<br />
<br />
A baby Pokémon will inherit the species of its mother (or non-Ditto parent in the case of a Ditto breeding) and inheritable moves from its father (when it's not a Ditto). Fathers always pass down [[TM]] moves that the baby's species could learn, which are valuable (since some are only obtainable one time). If both parents know a move that the baby's species learns by leveling up, the baby is born knowing that move as well. Fathers may also pass down special moves called "Egg moves" to the baby that it would not normally be able to learn by leveling up or evolving.<br />
<br />
===Shiny Pokémon===<br />
These games introduced [[Shiny Pokémon]]—Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (a 1 in 8192 chance). In these games, Shiny Pokémon often have higher stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species (as Shininess is based on the Pokémon's {{IV}}s in this generation).<br />
<br />
In this generation, the odds of an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatching into a Shiny Pokémon can be significantly increased if one or both parents are Shiny.<br />
<br />
There is one Pokémon guaranteed to be Shiny: a [[Red Gyarados]] can be found at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Since it is part of the storyline, it is impossible not to encounter this Pokémon as Shiny.<br />
<br />
===Pokérus===<br />
[[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a Shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).<br />
<br />
===Type and stat changes===<br />
Two new [[type]]s were introduced, {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}}. These two types serve to balance the {{t|Psychic}} type, which previously was only weak to {{type|Bug}} moves. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{t|Fighting}} type, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon; Steel and Dark are both weak to Fighting-type moves. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, such as {{m|Bite}} (previously {{type|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are also strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. Dark-type Pokémon are also weak to Bug-type attacks.<br />
<br />
Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the anime. {{type|Poison}} moves were previously super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type|Fire}} Pokémon (previously doing normal damage). Four moves had their types changed: {{m|Gust}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Flying}} move; {{m|Bite}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Dark}} move; {{m|Karate Chop}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Fighting}} move; {{m|Sand-Attack}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Ground}} move. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}, changed from being {{t|Electric}} type to being {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}.<br />
<br />
Another major change from the original games was the splitting of the {{Stat|Special}} stat into {{Stat|Special Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Defense}}. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for Defense and Special Defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
The games were generally well received and in-turn received a "Masterful" 10/10 by IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012865.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version (Pokemon Gold)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Craig Harris of that site states "after playing the game dozens of hours, I really can't think of a bad point to make about Pokémon Gold and Silver."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162865p1.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref><br />
<br />
==Battery life==<br />
Copies of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[Saving|save]] in a shorter timeframe than copies of the [[Generation I]] games due to the battery storing both saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker. The battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind, a CR2025, or a {{wp|CR2032 battery|CR2032}}, which is slightly thicker and lasts longer; doing so will delete the current save file in case it hasn't been erased already by the discharge of the battery.<br />
<br />
A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly (the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen).<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver}}<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}<br />
Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only paired versions which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] item and the [[Pokémon Music Channel#Pokémon Past Archive|Pokémon Past Archive]] radio program of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of chiptunes. However, not all of the old-style music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal).<br />
<br />
==Development cycle==<br />
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|Development of Pokémon Gold and Silver}}<br />
<br />
==Localization changes==<br />
{{Incomplete|section}}<br />
===Graphics===<br />
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the Pokémon summary screens are vertically aligned in a similar fashion to the [[Generation III]] games. In the Western localizations, due to the space constraints, the layout was reverted to the horizontally-aligned one of the [[Generation I]] games.<br />
* The amount of PC boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] was changed from 9 to 14 in the localizations (including the Korean ones) due to the maximum number of Pokémon per box being decreased from 30 to 20.<br />
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon Storage System]]'s layout is enclosed in a text-box frame and the Pokémon list appears in the background. In the Western localizations, there is no frame surrounding the Pokémon but the Pokémon list appears in a text-box frame.<br />
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, the sign of [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Johto]] have a [[Poké Ball]] drawing with the letters '''PC''' next to it. In the Western localizations, the sign was changed back to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games. The Pokémon Center signs in [[Kanto]] use the old design in all versions.<br />
* In the Western localizations, the gender symbol for the {{p|Nidoran}} is shown twice during {{pkmn|battle}}s due to the gender symbol being placed next to the level indicator instead of next to the Pokémon's name as in the Japanese and Korean versions.<br />
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, {{m|Sonic Boom|SonicBoom}}'s animation is a shock wave hitting the opponent. For undisclosed reasons, it was changed to a tornado hitting the opponent in the Western localizations, making it very similar to {{m|Gust}}.<br />
* {{p|Jynx}}, along other 19 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s had their sprites changed between the Japanese and Western versions. The Korean versions use the same sprites as the Japanese versions. The changes made for Western versions were also taken into account for the Japanese and Western versions of {{game|Crystal}}, although they were instead incorporated in the new sprites.<br />
<br />
===Gameplay===<br />
* In Japan and South Korea, {{p|Phanpy}} and {{p|Donphan}} are found in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in Pokémon Gold while {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Ursaring}} are found in the wild in Pokémon Silver. In the Western localizations, these were switched. This change was not replicated in the international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.<br />
* The [[party]] of {{tc|Pokéfan}} Alex, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} found on {{rt|13|Kanto}}, is made of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have names ending in "king" (Japanese: キング). Due to {{p|Magikarp}} not sharing this trait in the Western releases (its Japanese name is コイキング ''Koiking''), it was replaced by {{p|Seaking}} in order to stay true to the theme. Unlike Magikarp, which is [[level]] 58, the Seaking is level 29 like the rest of his team. In the Korean versions, his team is the same as in the Japanese versions since Magikarp's Korean name is 잉어킹 (''Ingeoking'') and both {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Slowking}} also have the word "king" (Korean: 킹) in their Korean names. This was also not redone for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since Alex still has a Magikarp in the localizations, which is now level 65.<br />
* In South Korea, the games can only be played on the [[Game Boy Color]] due to the need for more memory in order to properly render the Korean characters.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current CEO of [[The Pokémon Company]] (at the time, [[Staff of Pokémon Gold and Silver|the games' producer]]), originally thought that these games would be [[Game Freak]]'s last [[Pokémon]] project and thus the company invested in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} and licensed various merchandise as means to assure the success of Gold and Silver as "the ultimate Pokémon titles".<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon/0/1 Iwata Asks : Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version : The King Of Portable Toys]</ref><br />
* These are the only pre-[[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon games]] ever released in and localized for South Korea prior to the foundation of both Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The [[Time Capsule]] is nonetheless available in the Korean versions of Gold and Silver.<br />
* The Japanese [[Super Game Boy]] border of Pokémon Gold (labeled '''POCKET MONSTERS GOLD VERSION''') but not of Pokémon Silver is unused in all releases of {{game|Crystal}}. Similarly, in the Korean releases of Gold and Silver, the English Super Game Boy borders (respectively labeled '''POKéMON GOLD VERSION''' and '''POKéMON SILVER VERSION''') are unused since they only support the [[Game Boy Color]].<br />
* In the Korean versions, the [[credits]] are presented in English. The Japanese games would later replicate this in [[Generation V]] but only when {{DL|Options|character mode}} is set to {{wp|kanji}}.<br />
* Due to a possible oversight in the international versions, the Japanese quotation marks are used in certain parts of the dialogue, like in radio stations. This was corrected in Crystal.<br />
* These games were the first to have [[legendary Pokémon]] as [[Version mascot|mascots]] and the use of precious stones or metals as title names.<br />
* Gold and Silver, as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]], have the most types that have been specialized in by [[Gym Leader]]s, adding up to 15. <br />
** If one includes the [[Elite Four]], the {{t|Ground}} type is the only type that is not specialized in by an important Trainer in these games.<br />
* None of the [[in-game trades]] in Gold and Silver feature the player trading away ''or'' receiving a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}, making them the only games in which a player must link up with another player to trade Pokémon of that generation.<br />

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature Pokémon of the anime series, and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===History===<br />
====[[Original series]]====<br />
=====Kanto=====<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png|thumb|220px|Ash and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]<br />
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|In the anime|Professor Oak's Laboratory}} to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to the next town in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had received multiple life-threatening wounds in the fight. <br />
<br />
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time. <br />
<br />
Pikachu participated in Ash's first Gym battle with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his Electric-type attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a rematch, where Pikachu managed to defeat Brock's Geodude thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again. Onix was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric attacks dealt quite some damage. However despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again. Pikachu's Thunderbolt managed to turn on the gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, Ash was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and Ash decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the Boulder Badge.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]<br />
Pikachu's next major battle was against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. Lt. Surge laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu started off using Thunder Shock which seemed to do nothing to Raichu. Raichu then used its own Thunder Shock, which was much more powerful than Pikachu's attack, and dealt much damage. Following advice from Brock, Ash tried recalling Pikachu and forfeit. Pikachu however was determined to defeat Raichu and kept fighting. While trying to attack, Pikachu got overwhelmed by Raichu's {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}} and was finally defeated by a powerful Thunderbolt. Due to all the damage he had taken during the battle Pikachu had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with the [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms.<br />
<br />
Later Ash challenged Lt. Surge for a rematch, where Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Trying to get close, Pikachu got smacked to the ground by Raichu's tail, followed up by repeating hits from its tail him. Raichu then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Body Slam}}. As Raichu was about to finish Pikachu off with another Body Slam, Pikachu managed to get up and dodge it. Ash soon found out that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn in the Pikachu stage, such as Agility and Quick Attack. Through Pikachu's use of these moves, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Pikachu however used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock. Raichu tried using Thunderbolt again but due to its previous attack it had run out of electricity. Raichu then tried to hit Pikachu with a {{m|Take Down}}, but was out-sped by Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the [[Thunder Badge]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'' Pikachu was sent out to battle against [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Abra}}. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, making it much stronger. Pikachu tried filling the battlefield with lightining to prevent Kadabra from using Teleport, but Kadabra countered with {{m|Confusion}} to send the attack back at Pikachu. Kadabra then used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and started to repeatedly smash Pikachu to the ceiling and back down. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match. <br />
In Ash's rematch with Sabrina in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu selflessly fought Kadabra, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Pikachu used Thunder Shock, which Kadabra avoided using Teleport. After taking a hit from Kadabra's {{m|Psybeam}}, Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt which dealt major damage to Kadabra. Kadabra however quickly used {{m|Recover}} negating the damage it had taken. At that moment Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh. This gave Ash the win as well as earning the [[Marsh Badge]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into another group of Pikachu, which was a very rare find. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu, but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. Pikachu refused to leave Ash, however, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon in Ash's seventh Gym battle, where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Pikachu used his fast movements to dodge Rhydon's {{m|Fury Attack}} and then used Thunderbolt, which was ineffctive. Despite being immune to electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Pikachu tried dodging Magmar's {{m|Fire Punch}} the same way it had dodged Rhydon's Fury Attack, but got hit. Pikachu then tried hitting Magmar with an electric attack but it proved to be ineffective due to Magmar's Air Lens ability, which heats the air surrounding Magmar making electric attacks ineffective. Magmar then attacked with a series of Fire Punches driving Pikachu to the edge of the battlefield. Magmar then unleashed its {{m|Fire Blast}}, which managed to push Pikachu back and almost caused him to fall of the battlefield in the lava. Ash then decided to forfeit the match.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]<br />
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all the opposing Pokémon at once, causing Machamp, Rhydon and Kingler to run away in fear and defeating Arbok and Weezing. Later, after Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got the [[Earth Badge]]. <br />
<br />
Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]], in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This particular Pikachu had blue eyes and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both.<br />
<br />
Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo League]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'' Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine by melting the ice field using its Fire Blast, which caused to whole battlefield to be one big pool of water. Pikachu, however used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with Thunderbolt. <br />
<br />
In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated Ash's Bulbasaur. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shcok, but Bellsprout dodged and used Razor Leaf. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but was ineffictive since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu later faced off against [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' where he managed to defeat it with a Thunderbolt attack. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by battling Team Rocket earlier, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Charmander's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by it's {{m|Tackle}}, attempting to stand up.<br />
<br />
Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.<br />

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three versus three battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}} although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's {{m|Headbutt}}. After Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Breath}} collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail, Sawyer had Bagon use {{m|Dragon Claw}} but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.<br />
<br />
In [[XY078]], Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visit the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they are tricked by Team Rocket who separates the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. Pikachu first tried to free Ash and his friends, but when that failed, he attempted to get the attaché case that held the groups Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with the Poké Balls they stole when they saw that Ash and his friends were after them, but after Pikachu managed to stop there van with a Thunderbolt, Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one. Pikachu accepted and won despite Meowth attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After blasting Team Rocket of again, the group were invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.<br />
<br />
===Personality and characteristics===<br />
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu in a bad mood]]<br />
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.<br />
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}<br />
<br />
During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.<br />
<br />
As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships.<br />
<br />
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary golems#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si||Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches. <br />
<br />
The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.<br />
<br />
However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Panpour, Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior.<br />
<br />
Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary golems|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.<br />
<br />
Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes they succeed with nets, cages or capsules, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. In this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he's not captured.<br />
<br />
Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.<br />

*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to "Leer right back" by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still. <br />
*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.<br />
*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.<br />
*'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.<br />
*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.<br />
*'''Thunder-Volt Tackle''' is a move combination between Ash's Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. Pikachu starts by using Volt Tackle towards Paul's Electabuzz, who grabs him and uses Thunder on him to supercharge the Volt Tackle. This was used in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' to sever the cables with which Team Galactic's helicopters were carrying Veilstone City's meteorites.<br />
*'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball|4=Electro Iron Tail}}]]<br />
*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.<br />
*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.<br />
* '''Thunder Whirlpool''' was used in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' where it was used by Pikachu and {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in order to win a tag battle against [[Kato]] and [[Kiko]]'s {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Beautifly}}. First Piplup used {{m|Whirlpool}} which trapped Heracross and Beautifly inside at which point Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} to electrify it, knocking out both opponents at the same time.<br />
*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
*'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.<br />
*'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. While blocking {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack to protect {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu absorbed some of its opponent's electricity. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, it transferred Thundurus's excess energy into its attack, causing the Electro Ball to crackle with blue lightning and swell to incredibly massive proportions. This supercharged Electro Ball dealt great damage to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.<br />
*'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.<br />
*'''Draco Meteor Climb''' was a countering method Ash improvised during his Gym battle with [[Grant]] in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''. By using Iron Tail, Pikachu was able to jump on and avoid being hit by Grant's {{p|Tyrunt}}'s {{m|Draco Meteor}}. This was based on Ash's counter method to {{m|Rock Tomb}}, called "Rock Tomb Climb".<br />
*'''Aura Sphere Climb{{tt|*|The official name of this improvisation is completely conjectural and hasn't been confirmed by TV Tokyo or Cartoon Network.}}''', similar to Draco Meteor Climb, was used in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'' in order to counter [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}'s {{m|Aura Sphere}}.<br />

{{bulbanews/2|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}<br />
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.<br />

Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series<br />
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.<br />
<br />
Like in the anime, Pikachu was {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン=リュック ピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').<br />
<br />
Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with [[Sabrina]], he is easily bested by her Abra.<br />
<br />
Pikachu likes Misty and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.<br />

Ash's Pikachu, along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, makes a cameo appearance in the bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] {{pkmn|manga}} series. In the bonus chapters, Ash and friends have mistakenly wandered into the Magical Pokémon Journey world and are trying to return back to the world of the {{pkmn|anime}}, encountering many unusual situations along the way, including encounters of aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which are different in anime canon.<br />

* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.<br />
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー サトシとピカチュウ いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.<br />
* Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br />
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary golems|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.<br />
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.<br />
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.<br />
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.<br />
*** There were also non-verbal hints as early as ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', where Pikachu was seen carrying one of the packages immediately after the narrator mentioned that the males during Princess Day are relegated to carrying the packages.<br />
** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.<br />
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.<br />
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].<br />
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.<br />
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.<br />
* Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig}}, or {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.<br />
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.<br />
*Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.<br />
* Pikachu didn't learn any moves in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.<br />
*Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.<br />
*As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only five confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in: ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'' and ''[[XY078]]''.<br />
<!--* Pikachu has used moves introduced in every generation except for Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] and [[Generation VI|VI]].--><br />
<br />
===Pikachu's language===<br />
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:<br />
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)<br />
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)<br />
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)<br />
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)<br />
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)<br />
* Pikachu-Pika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)<br />
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)<br />
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)<br />
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)<br />
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught ''{{TP|Iris|Gible}}'' in ''[[SS028]]''.<br />
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.<br />
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.<br />
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"<br />
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."<br />

<br />
'''Pokémon Adventures''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターSPECIAL''' ''Pocket Monsters SPECIAL'') is a {{pkmn|manga}} series authored by 日下秀憲 [[Hidenori Kusaka]]. It was illustrated by 真斗 [[Mato]] for the first nine volumes and starting from {{PAV|10}} it has been illustrated by 山本サトシ [[Satoshi Yamamoto]]. It is published by [[Shogakukan]] under the Ladybird Comics Special series.<br />
<br />
It is popularly known as '''Pokémon Special''' even outside of Japan, and often shortened as PokéSpe (Japanese: ポケスペ / ポケSP ''PokeSupe'').<br />
<br />
Unlike the anime—which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly—Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the nineteen main characters taking their names from the [[core series]] games and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. Also unlike the anime, which has gone to great lengths to indicate the danger of a [[legendary Pokémon]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legends, much as the {{player}} can in the games. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including certain characters and some Pokémon actually dying.<br />
<br />
On October 26, 2009, it was announced that Gakunen magazine Grade 5 and Grade 6 (at the time serializing the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}) would cease publication at the end of the fiscal year. In February 2012, Grade 4—which was serializing the {{chap|Black & White}} at the time—also ceased publication. Publication will continue in CoroCoro Ichiban and Pokémon Fan magazine.<br />
<br />
Pokémon Adventures is one of the most successful Pokémon manga ever created, having sold over 150 million copies worldwide. Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] has endorsed the series, stating "This is the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey."<ref name="tajiri">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215144736/www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/characters.html]</ref> Game producer [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] has also praised the series, saying, "I want every Pokémon fan to read this comic!"<ref name="ishihara">[http://web.archive.org/web/20030202213736/http://www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/index.html]</ref><br />
<br />
==Story arcs==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
The various {{adv|chapter}}s of Pokémon Adventures span the six [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]] so far. These chapters are named typically for the games they correspond to; however, the protagonists of each chapter typically also share these names.<br />
<br />
===Red, Green & Blue chapter (Volume 1~3)===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VIZ volume 1.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Adventures volume 1 (VIZ media Second edition)]]<br />
{{main|Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
The first chapter of Pokémon Adventures, much like the first games, chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region, conquering its eight [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Later, a third Trainer, {{adv|Green}}, is added into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal acts. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]] called Yellow, who appears in volumes 4-7. In the end, as in the games, Red defeats Blue in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
===Yellow chapter (Volume 4~7)===<br />
{{main|Yellow chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
The Yellow chapter starts two years after {{adv|Red}} obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Pokémon League]]. {{adv|Red}} disappears for one month after he leaves to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One day, {{adv|Professor Oak}} discovers Red's {{P|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young Trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The Trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims that "he" is a friend of {{adv|Red}} and wishes to look for him with Pika. While {{adv|Professor Oak}} is still skeptical about Yellow, especially about "his" ability of healing and sensing Pokémon's emotions, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young Trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]]. When Yellow discovers that the Elite Four base is situated at Cerise island, Yellow heads there and meets up with Blaine, Blue, Green and the Team Rocket Commanders: Sabrina, Lt. Surge, and Koga. They decide to team up to take down the Elite Four, where {{Adv|Red}} also joins them. <br />
<br />
===Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Volume 8~15)===<br />
{{main|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
As peace is returning to [[Kanto]], new journeys and happenings are beginning in another region, [[Johto]]. {{adv|Gold}} was enjoying his normal life with his family Pokémon, who have been with him since birth, until he ran into a Pokémon thief at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. As he goes on a journey of chasing the thief, {{adv|Silver}}, with a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm and [[Pokédex]] from {{adv|Professor Oak}}, he stumbles upon the secret plots of the [[Masked Man]]. At the same time, {{adv|Professor Oak}} sends out a "Pokémon Capture Professional," {{adv|Crystal}}, on a journey of completing the Pokédex. She gets involved in [[Eusine]]'s plans to capture {{p|Suicune}} and tries to do so herself. Soon after, she also gets involved with the plots of Masked Man, who is apparently after the two legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. The more shocking revelation follows: this Masked Man is actually one of the 8 [[Gym Leader]]s of the Johto area.<br />
<br />
===Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Volume 15~22)===<br />
{{main|Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
Things have just settled down in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but another new region comes on screen. This chapter is about the "rivalry" of {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who are trying to conquer all the [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Gym]]s in [[Hoenn]] respectively within the span of 80 days. Just like their counterparts in Kanto and Johto, they encounter two evil organizations, the land-favoring [[Team Magma]] and sea-favoring [[Team Aqua]]. Team Aqua steals the Heart component from Mr. Stone, President of Devon Corporation, while Team Magma steals the Submarine Explorer I. Team Aqua destroys the volcano using the Grand Meteor, disrupting the balance of nature. Sapphire picks up a piece of the Grand Meteor and keeps it, but not for long, as soon she and Ruby clash with the leaders [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] as the two new [[Pokédex Holder]]s attempt to quell the two titans {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.<br />
<br />
===FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Volume 22~26)===<br />
{{main|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
The FRLG series continues the series featuring the characters {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} as they are forced to explore the [[Sevii Islands]] to look for {{adv|Professor Oak}} who has been kidnapped by [[Team Rocket]]. Meanwhile, {{adv|Green}} has finally located her parents, but as she is about to meet them, they get swallowed up by a mysterious black hole after a {{p|Deoxys}} attacks them. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of former foe [[Lorelei]], the psychic mutant {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and a mysterious old lady, [[Ultima]], while defeating Team Rocket again at the same time. Back in [[Kanto]], {{adv|Silver}} is seeking his parents as well, with the help of {{adv|Yellow}}. He is soon shocked by the revelation of who his father really is. In the end, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} are all petrified.<br />
<br />
===Emerald chapter (Volume 26~29)===<br />
{{main|Emerald chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
The grand opening of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. With a seemingly unmatched ability in battling and access to every Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} has ever caught, [[Guile Hideout]], the mysterious stranger that attacks [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] and is seeking {{p|Jirachi}}, may be more of a worry, especially if he catches Jirachi first.<br />
<br />
===Diamond & Pearl chapter (Volume 30~38)===<br />
{{main|Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
An important family from the region of [[Sinnoh]] sends their latest descendant {{adv|Platinum}} on a special mission with two [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]]. Platinum instead meets with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}, who coincidentally match the description given to her (two boys in scarves, one in red, the other in green). They join her, believing she is the tour guide of a trip to [[Mt. Coronet]] they won as a prize in a comedy contest. But these misunderstandings mark the start of their Pokémon journeys.<br />
<br />
===Platinum chapter (Volume 38~40)===<br />
{{main|Platinum chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
This chapter follows Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as she enters the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} to gather information on the mysterious [[Distortion World]] so she can rescue [[Paka and Uji|two very important people]]. Joining Platinum is [[Looker]], member of the [[International Police]], who aims to investigate the villainous [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} set off with Sinnoh Pokémon Association Chairman and Dr. Footstep to find the Legendary and Rare Pokémon of Sinnoh using Charon's stolen notebook on Legendary Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Volume 41~43)===<br />
{{main|HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
Three years after the events of the Emerald chapter, Team Rocket has been revived once more in an attempt to bring back their long-lost leader, Giovanni.

<br />

{{main|Black & White chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />
This chapter follows {{adv|Black}}'s journey across the [[Unova]] region, with the dream of conquering the [[Pokémon League]] and become the [[Pokémon Champion]]. He is joined by {{adv|White}}, who runs the [[BW Agency]] and whose dream is to raise the best Pokémon actor out there.<br />
<br />
===Black 2 & White 2 chapter (Volume 52~?)===<br />
{{main|Black 2 & White 2 chapter (Adventures)}}<br />
<br />

==English translations==<br />
Pokémon Adventures has been licensed for English translation by three different companies: [[VIZ Media]], located in {{pmin|the United States}}, [[Chuang Yi]], located in {{pmin|Singapore}}, and [[Shogakukan Asia]], also located in Singapore.<br />
<br />
===VIZ Media===<br />
Beginning in September 1999, Pokémon Adventures was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]. Originally, the series was available as a series of [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly single issues]], a popular format at the time, and the rounds were later released in the more traditional graphic novel format, beginning from {{PAV|1}} in April 2000. Publication ceased in 2003 after the {{chap|Yellow}} concluded with {{PAV|7}}. These translations read from left-to-right with the artwork in reverse from the original version, to conform with the style of North American comics and other Japanese manga published at the time. Other content, such as the route maps at the end of every volume, was omitted as well. Samples from this translation of Pokémon Adventures can be found in the [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]] volumes, which were both published in 2006.<br />
<br />
In June 2009, VIZ Media began re-releasing the series beginning from {{PAV|1}}. Rather than just reissue the previous translations, VIZ Media opted for a "second edition" - these volumes feature a new translation, with the right-to-left artwork and all of the content omitted from the previous translation restored. However, the new translation still follows closely to the original translation, containing some of the same dialogue and all the same titles for the rounds, as well as a lack of nicknames for {{Adv|Red}}'s or {{Adv|Green}}'s Pokémon (although Red's Pokémon receive nicknames in later volumes). In addition, these second editions contain edits not found in the first edition, such as the editing of {{adv|Green}}'s battle with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'' to remove the scene of Green hiding [[Poké Ball]]s in her top and the [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|recoloring of Jynx]] to match its current color of purple.<br />
<br />
Following the second edition of {{PAV|7}}, VIZ Media has begun to release volumes which are new to North America, beginning with {{PAV|8}} in August 2010. While continuing the format of the second editions, there are some edits in the new-to-American audience volumes, like editing a scene of {{Adv|Crystal}}'s mother slapping her in {{PAV|11}} into a glare and editing the scene of [[Norman]] punching {{Adv|Ruby}} into him dropping Ruby due to lightning in {{PAV|17}}. VIZ Media took a break in publication following the release of {{PAV|14}} in August 2011, which concluded the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} (''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'' was moved to the end of Volume 14). They resumed production of the series with {{PAV|15}} in March 2013.<br />
<br />
In July 2010, it was announced that the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} would be published concurrently with the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} as a "second series" called '''Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl/Platinum''', with {{PAV|30}} published as the first volume of the second series. This second series releases one new volume triannually and began publication in February 2011. Continuing this trend, in August 2013 VIZ Media began to release the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as a separately numbered series, '''Pokémon Adventures: HeartGold & SoulSilver''', consisting of {{PAV|41}} and {{PAV|42}} as volumes one and two. Since the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} is numbered separately from the {{chap|Black & White}}, the first four rounds of {{PAV|43}} ([[PS457]]-[[PS460]]) were moved to the end of {{PAV|42}} to keep the rounds organised by chapter.<br />
<br />
Beginning in July 2011, VIZ Media began publishing the magazine version of the {{chap|Black & White}}. Since the rounds were not currently collected in volume format in Japan at the time of publication, they were released as [[List of Pokémon Black and White volumes|a series of mini-volumes]], titled '''Pokémon Black and White''' and billed as a "Pokémon Adventures special edition". Starting from July 2013, VIZ Media started releasing the regular volume versions as a series called '''Pokémon Adventures: Black & White''', allowing readers the choice between the magazine version and the volume version.<br />
<br />
In March 2013, VIZ launched the {{tt|Perfect Square|Sticky Dot until July 2013}} app for the iPad. It allowed users to buy digital copies of children's manga and American comics. Pokémon Adventures is among those included on the app. So far, only Volumes 1-14 and Diamond and Pearl/Platinum Volumes 1-4 have been made available. These same volumes have also been released on the Kindle and Nook eBook stores as well.<br />
<br />
VIZ Media's translations of Pokémon Adventures are available in {{pmin|the United States}}, {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Ireland}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and South Africa.<br />
<br />
===Chuang Yi===<br />
[[Chuang Yi]], a manga company based in {{pmin|Singapore}}, translated Pokémon Adventures into English since {{PAV|1}} in May 2000. The first seven volumes used [[VIZ Media]]'s translation, though after VIZ Media stopped their first edition in 2003 at {{PAV|7}}, Chuang Yi continued to translate the series on their own. As the first seven volumes were based on the flipped edition by VIZ Media, Chuang Yi continued to publish the series in a flipped format, lasting from {{PAV|8}} to {{PAV|40}}. Their final volume, {{PAV|41}}, was published in the original right-to-left reading format. Their translation of the manga stopped when Chuang Yi went under {{wp|liquidation|voluntary liquidation}}.<br />
<br />
Chuang Yi's translations of Pokémon Adventures were available in {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}} and {{pmin|Thailand}}. They were also available in {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}} through {{wp|Madman Entertainment}}.<br />
<br />
===Shogakukan Asia===<br />
Beginning in July 2014, a new publisher, [[Shogakukan Asia]], has picked up the license for Pokémon manga, including Pokémon Adventures, in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. They first published [[Pokémon Adventures volume 42]] in August 2014. The volumes were published in the original right-to-left reading format.<br />
<br />
==International translations==<br />
<!--Please put languages in alphabetical order. Thank you!--><br />
Pokémon Adventures has been translated into many languages for publication around the world.<br />
<br />
===Chinese===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures TW volume 3.png|thumb|100px|right|{{tt|神奇寶貝特別篇|Pokémon Special}} volume 3 in traditional Mandarin (Taiwan)]]<br />
Pokémon Adventures is currently being translated into {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese}} by two publishers. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, {{wp|Chingwin Publishing Group}} (青文出版集團) handles the translation of the series into Traditional Mandarin and Cantonese under the title {{tt|神奇寶貝特別篇|Pokémon Special}} and {{tt|寵物小精靈特別篇|Pokémon Special}} respectively. The manga was formerly serialized in CoroCoro of Taiwan before its cancellation on January 2015, but keep publish volumes still.<br />
<br />
In Mainland China, the series is currently being translated by Jilin Publishing Group (吉林出版集团) under the title {{tt|精灵宝可梦特别篇|Pokémon Special}}. Before the DP chapter, the series was formerly named {{tt|神奇宝贝特别篇|Pokémon Special}}, but was renamed due to trademark issues. All the early volumes have now been republished under the new name as of 2014. Initially, the series was translated by China Light Industry Press (轻工业出版社) and known as {{tt|宠物小精灵特别篇|Pokémon Special}} for seven volumes, before Jilin Publishing took over in the 2000s.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures FI volume 1.jpg|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green'' volume 1]]<br />
<br />
===Finnish===<br />
On July 25, 2014, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} publisher Pauna Media started publishing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} under the combined title ''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green''. The seven volumes of these story arcs were initially scheduled to be released monthly. The Finnish version is based on and translated from the Japanese version. The names of moves, most characters, and Pokémon, however, will be in English by request of English licensors. This means that {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} follow the English naming as well instead of the original Japanese. Even though the translation is based on the Japanese version, the graphics are based on VIZ Media's second English version, with certain Finnish sound effects added. The edits made to the graphics remain in this version, despite the company's earlier statement on not censoring the series. Pauna Media has plans to release the entire series.<br />
<br />
===European French===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures FR volume 2.png|thumb|100px|left|''Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!'' volume 2]]<br />
[[File:Pokémon Noir et Blanc manga vol 1.png|thumb|100px|right|''Pokémon Noir et Blanc'' volume 1]]<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures FR omnibus 1.png|thumb|100px|left|[[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|''Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!'' omnibus 1]]]]<br />
Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|France|European French}} by {{wp|Glénat (publisher)|Glénat}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Great Adventure!}}'''. This translated version was based on the original Japanese, however, the artwork was printed in reverse order in a left-to-right reading format for purposes of publication in France. Each volume was initially split into two monthly issues by Glénat, and were later republished in their original volume presentation. Glénat suddenly had to interrupt this edition due to copyright issues, before the release of {{PAV|7}}, the closing volume of the {{chap|Yellow}}.<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Since 2011]], the {{chap|Black & White}} has been translated for France by [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurokawa Kurokawa]. This translation respects the original reading format (right-to-left) and is based directly on the magazine version of Pokémon Adventures. As the title ''Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!'' was still trademarked by Glénat, the {{chap|Black & White}} is published with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''.<br />
<br />
In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} in a set of three [[List of Pokémon Adventures omnibus volumes#France|omnibus volumes]], beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the {{chap|Black & White}}. In this edition, Red, Blue and Green are named Rouge, Bleu and Verte, which translate to the same colours in French. Blue and Green's names are switched, as in the English version (Bleu is the male character and Verte is the female character), likely due to the fact that there was no Green version released in France.<br />
<br />
In 2015, upon completion of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Kurokawa has begun a French translation of the {{chap|X & Y}} in the same format. Similarly, in commemoration of the release of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Kurokawa has begun an omnibus release of the original {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, previously unissued in France.<br />
<br />
===German===<br />
[[File:German Adventures Volume 3.png|thumb|100px|right|Pokémon Adventures volume 3 in German]]<br />

In the German version, the names of characters such as {{adv|Professor Oak}} and [[Lt. Surge]] were renamed to their German names from the games and anime. Additionally, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} were renamed to "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}" to match the {{pkmn|anime}}. Since October 2013, {{wp|Panini Comics}} has released eight volumes of the {{chap|Black & White}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: Schwarz und Weiss|Pokémon: Black and White}}'''. In May 2015, Panini Comics started releasing translated [[List of Pocket Monsters Special XY volumes|Japanese mini-volumes]] of the {{chap|X & Y}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon X und Y|Pokémon X and Y}}'''.<br />

<br />
===Latin American Spanish===<br />
[[File:Mangastoukan.png|thumb|100px|right|Issues of Pokémon Adventures and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] in Latin American Spanish]]<br />
Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} by Toukan Manga. The Latin American translation was based on VIZ Media's English translation.<br />
<br />
===Thai===<br />

<br />
===Vietnamese===<br />
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VI volume 1.png|thumb|100px|right|''Pokémon Đặc Biệt'' volume 1 (second edition)]]<br />
In {{pmin|Vietnam}}, Pokémon Adventures ({{tt|Pokémon Đặc Biệt|Pokémon Special}}) is published by Kim Đồng Publishing House, one of the largest manga publishers in Vietnam. The Vietnamese translation is based directly on the Japanese version &mdash; the trademarked romanizations of Japanese names are used for Pokémon, character and location names, although move names are translated into Vietnamese language.<br />
<br />
Kim Đồng Publishing House's first edition of Pokémon Adventures began in 2003 and ran from {{PAV|1}} through {{PAV|12}}, after which the series was discontinued due to Kim Đồng's Japanese partner cancelling their contract. This edition was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. In late 2014, Kim Đồng renegotiated the rights to the Pokémon Adventures series; however, a series of delays resulted in the release of the first volume to be pushed back from a projected January 2015 release date until April 6, 2015. Volume 2 was planned be released on April 20 but has been delayed since then, after receiving complaints about some translated terms from readers. Kim Đồng's second edition of Pokémon Adventures will be published in the original right-to-left reading format.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*A large amount of the art in Pokémon Adventures is based on the original concept works from the games. For example:<br />
**In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, Charmander is drawn with spikes on its back.<br />
**Hitmonlee has legs that can stretch like springs in the Yellow chapter.<br />
**Green's character design appears to be based on a [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unnamed, unused female Trainer]].<br />
**Brock's Graveler is seen floating like Geodude instead of having feet.<br />
*Throughout the series, almost every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional starter Pokémon that are chosen in the games, except {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|White}} and [[Lack-Two]]. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, usually near the start of the chapter.<br />
*In some instances in the translated version, the Fire type is referred to as Flame and the Ground type is referred to as Earth.<br />
*The starters given to characters based on the male protagonists in the games cycle through {{t|Grass}} ({{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|X}}), {{t|Fire}} ({{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|X}}), and {{t|Water}} ({{adv|Ruby}} and [[Lack-Two]]). Currently, X is the only character to receive more than one.<br />
**This also applies to characters based off the female protagonists in the games, which cycle through Water ({{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Platinum}} and {{adv|Y}}), Grass ({{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|White}}), and Fire ({{adv|Sapphire}}). Currently, the only exception to this rule is [[Whi-Two]]. This is only because she has yet to own ANY starter, but had she received a Fire starter, the pattern would remain unchanged.<br />

== Your signature. ==<br />

Just realized something: You did sign with four tildes, but currently it appears as "if you battle me, you'll lose $". There are two things wrong: first, it does not state your username anywhere, and second, it does not link to your userpage. Please fix it, so it will conform to the {{bp|signature policy}}.<br />
<br />
Also a side note: What you said in {{u|PikaTepig999}}'s talkpage about spambots is blatantly incorrect. Spambots don't protect from spam; they '''post and create''' spam.

:Excuse me? I just said to check the history. Even if you didn't didn't, the post was in the middle of two posts from 2010 and 2011. And calm down. There's no reason to yell. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:13, 27 March 2015 (UTC)<br />

'''Hidden Power''' (Japanese: '''めざめるパワー''' ''Awakening Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Although it appears as a Normal-type move, Hidden Power's actual type varies. It has been [[TM10]] since Generation II.<br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
{{main|Hidden Power (move)/Calculation}}<br />
===Generations II to V===<br />
Hidden Power inflicts damage using a type and base power determined by the user's {{IV}}s.<br />
<br />
Hidden Power can receive [[same-type attack bonus]]. For instance, a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power. Although Hidden Power is Normal-type in the game's data, a {{type|Normal}} Hidden Power is not obtainable.<br />
<br />
Hidden Power is unaffected by {{a|Normalize}}.<br />
<br />
===Generation VI===<br />
Hidden Power's base power is now always 60. The method for determining the type of Hidden Power is the same as Generation III to V, so a {{type|Fairy}} Hidden Power is not possible.<br />
<br />
Due to never being a Normal-type move, Hidden Power is unaffected by {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Aerilate}}, and {{m|Ion Deluge}}. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Electrify}}, Hidden Power's type will become {{t|Electric}}, regardless of its actual type.<br />

==In other games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (series)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]===<br />
The type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters a dungeon, and does not change between floors. The type is selected among each of the 17 types with roughly equal probability (the game chooses from the 18 types, including the {{type|???}}, choosing again if the ???-type is chosen; if this is done 100 times consecutively, Hidden Power will be of the {{type|Fire}}). The base power of the move is chosen among the following values with equal probability: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Rumble]] series===<br />
Hidden Power is randomly assigned any of the 17 types whenever a Toy Pokémon has it as one of its moves. The type does not change for as long as the Pokémon keeps the move.<br />
<!--Could someone check to see if, when a Pokémon forgets and then relearns Hidden Power, it stays the same type as before?--><br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation II]], [[Shiny Pokémon]] could only use a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Dragon}} Hidden Power due to the spread of [[individual values]] required for alternate coloration.<br />
* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Hidden Power was one of the only two moves (along with {{m|Weather Ball}}) which could, depending on the Pokémon, be either [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]], due to the damage category being determined by the type.<br />
* Hidden Power's type variety has not been addressed in the anime.<br />

<br />
'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター プラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platinum'') is the third game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] game.<br />
<br />
The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by [[Nintendo]]. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008, in North America on March 22, 2009, in Australia on May 14, 2009, in Europe on May 22, 2009 and in Korea on July 2, 2009.<br />
<br />
Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same as in previously released paired versions; in Platinum, the player begins his or her journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] and travels across all of [[Sinnoh]].<br />
<br />
==Blurb==<br />
Another world has emerged in the [[Sinnoh]] region...<br>...A world where time and space are altered! Catch, train, and battle your favorite Pokémon, and discover ancient, mythical Pokémon in this exciting new adventure!<br />
<br />
==Changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==<br />
===Gameplay===<br />
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play a snippet of the title theme's melody. It shares this trait with some other games.<br />
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include '' Wobbuffet Pop'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ''Mime Jr. Top'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball and ''Swalot Plop'' where players throw Berries at a {{p|Swalot}} machine.<br />
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Vs. Recorder]] (given by [[Looker]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[Global Terminal|GTS]]. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.<br />
* The [[Global Terminal|GTS]] has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's e-mail account, which can be viewed through the player's PC, mobile phone, or Wii system.<br />
** In non-Japanese versions, however, the system was downgraded to Wii messaging only. Thus, in these versions, notification messages are sent and must be viewed through the Wii's Message Board.<br />
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.<br />
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature called ''Spin Trade'' where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon Eggs in and randomly swap. Trainers that obtain Eggs that land on the ''Bonus Area'', the spotted ones, get a Berry too.<br />
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Great Marsh]].<br />
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].<br />
* Strength is no longer needed to access [[Wayward Cave]]'s Hidden Area.<br />
* The player can now challenge other Trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The Trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These Trainers change location every day.<br />
* During a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|battle}} when the opponent Trainer is about to send out his (or her) next [[Pokémon]] the message has changed from "Will <the player> change Pokémon?" in all games up to [[Diamond and Pearl]] to "Will you switch your Pokémon?". This was kept in subsequent core series games.<br />
* In addition to the Move Tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[Move Tutor]]s are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and in the [[Survival Area]].<br />
* The {{stat|accuracy}} of {{m|Hypnosis}} was [[List of modified moves|changed]] back to 60.<br />
* The game's speed with some features is faster compared to Diamond and Pearl, particularly while {{m|Surf|surfing}} and during {{pkmn|battle}}s. However, the player still walks slower than in [[Generation III]]. The {{wp|Frame rate|frame rate}} of Platinum remains 30 frames per second (FPS).<br />
* Poffins can be made with other players via Wi-Fi.<br />
* A man in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s Prize Exchange House can tell the player the type of {{m|Hidden Power}} their Pokémon has, and a man in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}} is able to judge the [[Individual values]] of the player Pokémon. <br />
* The price of the [[Accessory|Accessories]] at [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]] on [[Floaroma Town]] has been reduced.<br />
* European versions of the game are no longer able to play [[slot machine]]s. These versions of the game replace slot machines with [[Slot machine#European Platinum|game machines]], a machine that simply gives coins to the player with little interactivity. This is the result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref>.<br />
* As in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and III, it is possible to ride a [[Bicycle]] in [[Gate|gatehouses]] separating cities or towns and routes, something that was not possible in Diamond and Pearl.<br />
* When the player uses his or her radar while in [[the Underground]], it takes two seconds before another radar signal can be used. In Diamond and Pearl, it only took one second.<br />
* The Lustrous and Adamant Orbs are no longer found on the [[Spear Pillar]] as in Diamond and Pearl, instead they must be found in a cave somewhere in the snowfields of [[Mt. Coronet]] which requires {{m|Waterfall}}. To be able to catch Dialga and Palkia, the player must have obtained the items in that cave and must have faced Giratina, whether it was caught or not. Then the player can go up [[Mt. Coronet]] to where Giratina took the player and Cyrus in to the [[Distortion World]].<br />
* If a legendary Pokémon is not captured, it will reappear after defeating the [[Elite Four]].<br />
* The level progression of the average opponent's Pokémon has been increased. An example of this is that in Diamond and Pearl, Barry's starter Pokémon in the battle at Pastoria City is at level 28. In Platinum, it is at level 36. Almost every Trainer's roster in the game has had their levels increased by at least one. However, the Elite Four's Pokémon have been lowered by four levels the first time the player faces them.<br />
* In locations where certain unevolved Pokémon can be found (like {{p|Numel}} on [[Sinnoh Route 227|Route 227]] and [[Stark Mountain]]), they are near the levels of the rest of the Pokémon in the area, whereas in Diamond and Pearl they were usually in the high 10s or low 20s.<br />
<br />
====Obtainable Pokémon====<br />
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge. <br />
* Giratina has received a new Forme known as the ''Origin Forme'', with its previous Forme named the ''Altered Forme''. Giratina will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]], and in Altered Forme outside. A {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World.<br />
** The [[Ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stats|base stats]] mirror those of Altered Forme, with the offensive stats switched with their respective defensive stats.<br />
* {{p|Shaymin}}'s new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[Ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the forme is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It is able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.<br />
** Shaymin is able to change between its two forms via the use of the [[Gracidea]]. This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.<br />
* {{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, however their [[base stats]] are significantly higher. They also share the original Rotom's Ability of {{a|Levitate}}. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the {{OBP|Secret Key|Generation IV}}, is an event-only item. As these Pokémon are not normally available in this game, they were therefore banned from official tournaments{{fact}} until the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver which allowed Rotom to transform without the requirement of an event-only item.<br />
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught at level 30 with the help of an event {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Nintendo events.<br />
* {{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in any game along with {{p|Magikarp}}, as well as the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in any game.<br />
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all found at level 60.<br />
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on the [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Timespace orbs#Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}s in [[Mt. Coronet]].<br />
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a [[Pokémon Egg]] containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated Team Galactic at the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], replacing the {{p|Happiny}} Egg previously obtainable in [[Hearthome City]].<br />
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Pokédex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.<br />
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.<br />
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Pokédex]]. It can be added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] from finding its picture in a book in the {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Sinnoh}}.<br />
* Certain Pokémon are obtainable through events- {{p|Shaymin}} in [[Flower Paradise|a secret area near Route 224]], {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}} through an event in [[Canalave City]].<br />
<br />
===Areas===<br />
* Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the previous generation]], a new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Factory}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Arcade}} and {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Hall}} as venues.<br />
* [[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.<br />
** This and other things provide evidence that this version takes place in winter, as opposed to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|the previous Sinnoh installments}} which do not have a definite season.<br />
* [[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.<br />
* The [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal. It has been renamed as the ''Global Terminal''.<br />
* [[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine and are now moving.<br />
* An arch now represents the entrances to [[Floaroma Town]].<br />
* The trees in the [[Eterna Forest]], as well as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], cast shadows that cover the ground.<br />
* [[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out. It now contains a secret room where Rotom can switch between its forms.<br />
* [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route, as well as lights along the sides of it.<br />
* [[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.<br />
* [[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small pond, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.<br />
* [[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.<br />
* [[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Day Care]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.<br />
* [[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement, in which Contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.<br />
* The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.<br />
* [[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]]. On occasions, if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come, but it will just cry and walk into the Great Marsh building.<br />
* The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.<br />
* [[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.<br />
* [[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.<br />
* The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach [[Lake Acuity]].<br />
* The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.<br />
* The back area of [[Spear Pillar]] has been slightly redesigned to allow more room for the [[Creation trio]] when they appear.<br />
* [[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.<br />
* The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.<br />
* The [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer, and palm trees can be found there.<br />
* [[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.<br />
* The {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} is surrounded by golden railings.<br />
<br />
===Storyline===<br />
* The story seen on TV at the start of the game is now about [[Professor Rowan]] having just returned from a trip to [[Kanto]].<br />
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}.<br />
** Instead of being attacked by {{p|Starly|wild Pokémon}} at [[Verity Lakefront]], the player and his/her rival are attempting to reach [[Sandgem Town]] through tall grass when the Professor stops them and offers them a starter.<br />
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon which has a type advantage against the player's.<br />
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the [[Eterna City]] statue. <br />
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on the [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].<br />
* A new area known as the [[Distortion World]] is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It disobeys the {{wp|laws of physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf}}ing down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here. <br />
* Two new characters to the main storyline were added. One is [[Charon]], a professor and Commander of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Looker]]".<br />
* A Tag Battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Barry|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} when the player first arrives there.<br />
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans to re-create the world have changed slightly. The layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. Team Galactic now utilizes more resources in order to reach their goal, as well as explaining why, in-game, such as the power from the [[Valley Windworks]], as well as planting a bomb on the [[Great Marsh]] for attention in order to allow more people to realize what they're trying to do. [[Team Galactic]] also has a [[Charon|fourth commander]] who appears throughout the game, but does not take on a significant role until after the main story events.<br />
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth. The appearance of players' Gym Badge case stays the same.<br />
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} or the [[Vs. Seeker]] near the {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].<br />
* [[Team Galactic]] appears in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Charon]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Charon does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Charon and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Looker]] and two policemen.<br />
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Battleground]]. The player's [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]] from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this place. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 65 (except for [[Maylene]], whose team instead ranges from level 62 to 66).<br />
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78. <br />
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Battleground]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On these last battles, he was the Trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all core series games, until {{ga|Red}}'s remade team in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.<br />
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a [[Villa]]. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.<br />
<br />
===Graphics===<br />
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Barry}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has changed in temperature.<br />
* The player's house now has wallpaper in their room.<br />
* The template for the [[level]], {{stat|HP}}, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white, and its shape has changed.<br />
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.<br />
* Some of the [[move]]s have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.<br />
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v2|Emerald}} (i.e., multiple frames of animation in addition to the various distortions and filters already used).<br />
* Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] have also changed. Certain Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, like {{p|Meowth}}, also received a change in sprites. The {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites are still used when the player dresses up the Pokémon either in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s or in the [[Jubilife TV]] station.<br />
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Frontier Brain]]s and {{ga|Barry}}, the Trainers' sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.<br />
* Some Trainers now use [[Seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.<br />
* The {{gy|Eterna}}, {{gy|Hearthome}}, and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.<br />
* Closeups of Gym Leaders, just before a battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS; the Frontier Brains also have this feature. The Elite Four have this as well, but the animation includes the player on the left side of the "VS." and the Elite Four member on the right side.<br />
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.<br />
* When entering new areas, the location "labels" on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.<br />
* All Gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.<br />
* {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pachirisu}} are now featured when entering Wi-Fi.<br />
* The [[Pal Pad]] has been given a new design.<br />
* The [[Junichi Masuda|game director]] at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] now has an overhead sprite of his own. The [[Diploma]] also was redesigned.<br />
* When the player starts the battle with the Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], instead of displaying "A wild GIRATINA appeared!", it displays "The Distortion World's GIRATINA appeared!". It is referred to as "the wild GIRATINA" in other instances, such as attacking, however.<br />
* The trees on West Sinnoh have sharper angles and a point at the top, compared to rounded branches and a rounded top in Diamond and Pearl, and are also slightly darker. The trees in East Sinnoh are also slightly darker, but it is now a completely different hue than the trees in West Sinnoh, and are more rounded than in Diamond and Pearl, while the Battle Zone has completely new trees altogether.<br />
<!--* The Poké Ball found at the touch screen now has a button on the center.--><br />
* The battle menu was redesigned.<br />
* When Spiritomb appears in the wild or comes out of a Trainer's [[Poké Ball]], the [[Odd Keystone]] is seen for a few seconds in its battle animation.<br />
<br />
==Missing Pokémon==<br />
These Pokémon are unavailable in Platinum. To be obtained they must be [[trade]]d from the other games of [[Generation IV]] or [[Pal Park|imported]] from a game from [[Generation III]].<br />

==Reception==<br />
Upon its release, Pokémon Platinum received very good review scores from critics. IGN gave the game a "Great" score with an 8.8 out of 10 stating that, "Yes, it's still good. Even two years later".<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/965/965092p1.html IGN: Pokemon Platinum Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> It currently holds an 83% rating on Gamerankings.com, while being reviewed by a total of 34 sources.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/946308-pokemon-platinum-version/index.html Gamerankings: Pokemon Platinum Version] (retrieved January 18, 2010)</ref><br />
<br />
{{wp|Famitsū}}, a Japanese video game magazine, noted that Platinum was the fastest selling game released for the Nintendo DS. It also had the tenth highest selling figures of any game for 2009, and was the only game for the DS to place in the top ten.<ref>[http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/nintendo-call-of-duty-dominate-09-game-sales-figures/1385597] Game sales data 2009 (retrieved January 16, 2010)</ref><br />
<br />
==Compatibility==<br />
The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} once players have access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It can also connect to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and obtain Pokémon received from [[Ranger Net]] Special Missions. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, but [[My Pokémon Ranch]] requires a Japan-only update to work with Platinum. Pokémon Battle Revolution also wasn't programmed to be compatible with Platinum, so new formes will not appear.<br />
<br />
Like Diamond and Pearl, the issue with Korean characters remains. Whereas Diamond and Pearl showed empty spaces, Platinum&mdash;and subsequently HeartGold and SoulSilver&mdash;instead show dashes.<br />
<br />
==Staff==<br />
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Platinum}}<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{main|Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection}}<br />
The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (the basis for a majority of the music in Pokémon Platinum). However, the soundtrack does not include [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta#Music|the remastered title theme music]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or the other unused music, all of which are present in the internal data of Diamond and Pearl, as well as Platinum.<br />
<br />
{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection}}<br />
Several music tracks exclusive to Platinum went officially unreleased until 2012, when they were included with the official soundtrack of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}. These Platinum-exclusive tracks comprise tracks 17-48 of Disc 4 of the soundtrack.<br />
<br />
==Beta elements==<br />
{{main|Pokémon Platinum beta}}<br />
<br />
==Errors==<br />
* Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[Player] received a(n)/the [item]" displays. However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}, it displays "<Player> received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears. This mistake was corrected in the localizations. This oversight also occurs in the [[Turnback Cave]] with the item in the last room by the portal in every release of the game.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The instruction manual included with the game claims there are 493 Pokémon to be discovered. However, the game was released before {{p|Arceus}}, the 493rd Pokémon, was officially revealed.<br />
* This is the first game where the player can battle an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in a Pokémon Center.<br />
* Platinum removed the "©(publishing year) GAME FREAK inc." notice present on the title screen in Diamond and Pearl and preceding games, instead having a notice saying "Developed by {{tt|GAME FREAK Inc.|Says &quot;GAME FREAK.&quot; only in the original Japanese version}}" similar to the notices found on the title screens of recent games developed by {{wp|tri-Ace}}.<br />
* This is the only solitary core series version to be released in South Korea.<br />
<!--Inconclusive?<br />
* The events of Pokémon Platinum, such as the Distortion World, Giratina, the Battle Castle, Caitlin's appearance, and Cynthia being defeated by a [[Lucas (game)|young]] [[Dawn (game)|Trainer]] from Sinnoh, were mentioned several times in {{game|Black and White|s}}, confirming that [[Generation V]]'s canon follows the story after the events in Pokémon Platinum, rather than that of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].--><br />
<!--Needs confirmation:<br />
* The gender of the starter of Professor Rowan's assistant ({{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}) is randomly generated each time it appears in battle, meaning it can change genders from one battle to the next.--><br />

* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.<br />
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.<br />
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.<br />

== Manual of Style ==<br />
<br />
Before making edits, please go through the [[BP:MOS|manual of style]]. When linking a Pokémon character, for example Bulbasaur, use <code><nowiki>{{p|Bulbasaur}} instead of [[Bulbasaur]]</nowiki></code>. The former leads to the actual page which is [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)]], while the later just links to this [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbasaur&redirect=no redirect page]. Also, while linking the games, {{tt|add the term "Versions" after their names|except for the generation 6 games}}. That is, use [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]] instead of just [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], for the same reason. Please ensure you do these things next time and you'll be good to go. Happy editing! -<span style="background:#000000;"><span style="color:#FFA500"><font face="Old English Text MT">''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|<span style="color:#FFA500">Sher</span>]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|<span style="color:#FFA500">Bengal</span>]]''</font></span>-</span> 16:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)</div>

I need help changing one of the type effects of Tentacool over to somewhere else. I am a new member so I don't know how to do all these changes so if someone can help that will be nice. <br />
<br />
what needs to be changed is electric needs to be taken out of tentacool's weakness column and put in the regular effect column. if someone can tell me how to do that then that will be nice thanks again.<br />
([[User:Roadmaster84|Roadmaster84]] 23:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC))<br />
:Tentacool is a {{t|Water}}/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon. Water is weak to Electric and Poison is neutral to Electric.

<br />
Hi, I saw the Anville town Article and saw the section at the top said you can get to anvillle town using the Anville town line in the battle subway. I was thinking that changing it to the Brown line because it's colour is brown? I'm not sure if i should but please tell me if i'm right! [[User:SkyAltaria1|SkyAltaria1]] 14:16, 17 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Perhaps it would be more precise to change it the brown line instead of just saying "Anville line". I don't think there's any harm in changing it.

Ok Thanks :) [[User:SkyAltaria1|SkyAltaria1]] 06:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Hey, I need advice too. I know of a glitch that is fairly well-known, yet this wiki doesn't have a page for it. I notice that most glitches have their own pages as well as appearing on the List of Glitches section of the Glitch page. However, I don't have permission to make pages yet. Should I just add this glitch to the List of Glitches and hope someone else makes a page for it, or should I request that a page for it be made, or what? [[User:HappyGasGames|HappyGasGames]] ([[User talk:HappyGasGames|talk]]) 17:06, 3 August 2012 (UTC)<br />
:If you have a question on a topic that's glitch related, you should talk to {{u|SnorlaxMonster}}. He's the leader of Project:Glichdex and would probably have the answers you're looking for.

== Romanization ==<br />
I'm not entirely fond of how Bulbapedia handles their Japanese names for things, primarily how we use the trademarked name and completely ignore the rōmaji. Yes, I think it's important to have the trademarked Japanese names, but I think it's also equally important to have the bare rōmaji, too. I think it would be effective to use the <nowiki>{{tt}}</nowiki> template around the Japanese text itself to show the rōmaji alongside the trademarked name. For example, it would look like this: {{tt|ラルトス|Rarutosu}} ''Ralts'' or {{tt|カメックス|Kamekkusu}} ''Kamex''.<br>Would anyone object to me going around and doing this? [[User:Mitsuru|Mitsuru]] 23:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)<br />
:[[List of Japanese Pokémon names]]. This does that. I personally do not like the idea for esthetic reasons. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 23:19, 12 May 2012 (UTC)<br />
::Alright, but it applies to more than just Pokémon themselves. Many pages unrelated to Pokémon suffer the same ([[Snag Machine]], [[N]], etc.). And I disagree; I don't think it's too much of an eyesore, and it's hardly invasive. [[User:Mitsuru|Mitsuru]] 03:06, 13 May 2012 (UTC)<br />

== BW2 Soundtrack ==<br />
Do we need a page for the BW2 soundtrack "Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete"? I have the CD here and I figured I might as well contribute. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 20:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Kato and Kiko ==<br />
<br />
I need help adding a trivia sentence for Kato and Kiko. I don't want to try and add a new trivia sentence and end up messing up the whole thing for their trivia. Either someone help me or ill just tell you what I want to post so you can do it yourselves:<br />
<br />
For Kato's trivia: Kato's hairstyle resembles the horn of his pokemon, Heracross.<br />
<br />
For Kiko's trivia: Kiko's hairstyle resembles the wings of her pokemon, Beautifly.<br />
<br />
If you can tell me how to post it that would be excellent or if you want to post it yourself that would be just as excellent. If you end up doing it yourself don't add both on one just kato's on Kato's page and Kiko's on Kiko@'s page. I don't mind either way as long as it manages to get posted and i have some credit for it.

I've been noticing that the admins on this site have been protecting almost all Pokemon X/Y related articles and not allowing normal users due to "Speculation Crackdown" till after October 12.

:::Charmander and Charmeleon's voice actors on the article are the 4kids actors. During the Advanced Generation the dub was passed on to DuArt. For example, look at [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. See how it says Tara Jayne for EP010-AG133 then Michele Knotz as current? That's because of the voice actor swap. Since Charmander and Charmeleon appeared in the Best Wishes series, they would have been given new voice actors. Those are the ones that are missing.

It seems people have forgotten that this site is, above all else, an ''encyclopedia''. I've seen some wikis have speculative articles and then have some tag at the top of the page saying "This is unconfirmed, yada yada yada." That's extremely unprofessional, and it makes way for a truck load of spam articles under the guise of being "unconfirmed". A good wiki, Bulbapedia included, uses the agenda of official confirmation being ''absolutely crucial''. As much as it may seem, at the current moment, that these three Pokémon and the Mega-Eons are as real as real can get, leaked information is the exact opposite of confirmed information. Even Serebii's no fool. He's not going around asserting that everything he finds is fact. As Nate even said, the words "Do note, these are still unconfirmed" are used on his site. Besides, it's god-honestly better to ''not'' have the information until it's confirmed than to have guesswork that turns out to be wrong.

::::::Files. Every website that uses pictures needs to reference the picture in the website. Thus, most pictures are hosted in the same server as the website itself. Basically, if the images are added to the server, we just need to peek into the server's files and see what is there, which is how we got the other files. As for the other part, why are there two Vivillon patterns in the game that no one has obtained? We don't know what GF has done or will do with them.

{{indent}} Back on the "dummied out content" thing, yes, there's plenty of dummied out content left in the game's code among all of the older games. Bulbapedia has pages specifically on said content.

:On the topic of PGL files, there are two placeholder Vivillon patterns (which are the same as the default pattern), indicating that there are likely to be 2 more Vivillon patterns (matching the leak). The Mythical Pokémon do not appear on the PGL currently.

While the chance is there that they could be fake ([http://pokejungle.net/2013/10/31/rumour-legends-leaked-by-hacking/ this page even says so]), the fact that this person was able to cause the three legendaries to appear in one of the early Routes pretty much confirms they are real. If those are Photoshopped images, they're pretty good. Additionally, seeing them on the GTS and not filtered out as gibberish also confirms that they are real. The person writing the linked blog, as well, noted that he tried to encounter Pokémon #722 (meaning these came from 719-721) and the result was a Bad Egg, meaning there is nothing programmed after 721 and that is the end of the current Pokédex.<br />
<br />
We ought to acknowledge this information. People have tested and confirmed that the data is there. Serebii even briefly had pages for the trio (since taken down, someone put up a screenshot of the three screengrabs as an image). Nintendo just hasn't released the info because they want to leave something for future announcements and events. Since they're already in the game, other than patching to get rid of them, Nintendo can't do much now to change it (and then what will they use for later games, and who says we have to use the patch? I mean, they can't get rid of this data in the games now!). Therefore, they exist, they just haven't been announced. Pages ought to be created even if they are tagged as unconfirmed Pokémon. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:32, 2 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:If you had been paying attention, no one is immediately saying they're faked or photoshopped. But what we ''are'' saying is they may very well be dummied out content. And again, as far as a wiki is concerned, if information is not 100% confirmed, it might as well be 100% fake. Bulbapedia has a reputation to keep, and if things that end up being utter bull get articles only for us to find out the truth later, how will that make the site look? And even if they are really there, they ''can'' indeed be patched out. That's what patches do. If someone who got, say, one of these "Volcanions" ends up losing data and having their save corrupted because it was patched out, well then that's their own fault.

::Yes, I'm paying attention. Here's the thing: if they are dummied out, that makes them notable just for that and they deserve to be recognized as deleted Pokémon.

::Replying to 0danmaster0 here, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Genesect_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1188433 linked here] is the original draft of [[Genesect (Pokémon)]] from September 18, 2010. It got several more edits that day and the following days. Do we have information on exactly when Nintendo announced Genesect?

:::::The difference is that when lots of people could do it, it was clearer that Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect were real because so many independent sources were backing each other up.

If Nintendo patches them out after this independent crusade (for lack of a better word), then the article could be about what the names of the Pokémon would have been and were changed due to a hacker. A hacker causing Nintendo to change plans is notable. So one way or another, whether now or after news comes of a new patch that removes the names (impossible on the GTS though unless they close it briefly and remove all requests), an article will exist somewhere on either the Pokémon or the schematics surrounding them being changed (even when the trio does eventually come out with similar types and the would-be names are matched up).

:::::::::''The bottom line is if we can't replicate the results to verify, a random on the internet is nothing more than a dubious source.''<br />
:::::::::That's funny. Someone earlier said that the reason the article doesn't exist is because Nintendo hasn't announced it. However, Nintendo hadn't announced Keldeo, Meloetta, or Genesect and those articles came up with "multiple independent sources".<br />
:::::::::We now have "multiple independent sources" confirming these three new Pokémon showing up as valid in the GTS by people requesting other than themselves, which is backed up by hacked data confirming their existance and with images (though again, I prefer video). Sersbii had pages up brifly, since taken down. This is exactly the scenario we had with the Unova group, just not as many sources. Yet now the rules are different because it's more convenient to wait for Nintendo to announce it before putting pages up.<br />
:::::::::We need to stop changing the rules in convenient ways for a situation and just report what people have found out already. Wikipedia uses references as a method of sourcing ANY information. We have several sources, even if one main one is a blog and others are forums. That's enough for me for a video game (we're not sourcing nuclear fission or anything like that). If it turns out not to be real, we correct it. That's what a Wiki does. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::::::::You're wrong with the part about "exactly the same scenario". As already said above, the key difference is being able to replicate the results; that is, unlike with DS games, the encryption for 3DS games is still yet to be broken so data mining is outright impossible. You can't make a ROM dump out of your X or Y game card, break in, and check the Pokémon specification data structures yourself. Instead, for anything other than the names, you need to rely on and believe the authenticity of the few still images by one community member.

I will be watching for them in the new year, when I expect them to be announced, after torchic. and also, regarding pixie arcius and mew in x/y, they were added in the 1.1 patch which also allowed all pokemon to be added to the dex via pokebank. so In adding the pokebank, 1.1 had more than it seemed. prove me wrong, but I want evidence I am wrong. I know Nintendo, and this is legit. make the pages. I will cover the story. EDIT- while poking on serebii to take notes, I saw that they have a classification.

:The difference is that even if Darkrai, etc had been dummied out, we could hack the game so we still knew all of its data.

There's literally nothing we can say in good conscience except "these are their names," whereas in the past, we could hack the game and reliably report every single piece of data for event-exclusives on the DS and prior systems.

Whilst I completely understand that Volcanion and Hoopa remain unofficial, and whilst I agree that we should not pass them of as we would any other Pokémon due to the insufficient amount of data that has been able to be retrieved from the X and Y games, would it not be reasonable to have maybe a single article on both, and possibly the now-confirmed Diancie as well, stating that their names are recognised by the GTS, and that they have therefore been coded into the games in one way or another. Obviously we cannot pass off much other information about them, as there is very little of it that can truly be confirmed as official, however, a single short mention that the names of the Pokémon are coded into the games should suffice for the article. The names exist in the GTS without a doubt, in fact, that was how I first found out about them very early in the game when I went on to the GTS and saw someone requesting a Hoopa. The way I look at it, whether or not they are patched out of the game, never used/talked about again, swept under the carpet by Nintendo, or released as official Pokémon, we will eventually end up with an article about them, will we not? We currently have articles for unused prototype Pokémon such as Honōguma, Buhi, and Kurusu, and on backsprites for the early Shellos and Gastrodon from the coding of Ruby and Sapphire. Hoopa and Volcanion will essentially end up with their own pages, on a new page for patched out Pokémon, or on the page for prototype Pokémon. So, as little confirmed information on them as there is, surely it's noteworthy enough to at least acknwoledge them as sort-of-maybe-Pokémon-to-be that we know officially a little bit about, after all the GTS does recognise them as something, and if the GTS acknowledges them, then why shouldn't we? I understand that we know little about them, and the last thing I want to do is fuel a massive debate, but I think they at least deserve a little mention, no matter how ambiguous, somewhere rather than "What Pokémon? Huh? Who? Where? There's no Pokémon here!".--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 01:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
:[[Diancie|Diancie has an article already.]] As for the second issue, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Bulbapedia_talk:Editor%27s_Hub&diff=prev&oldid=2001611 you can see it has been talked about for a long, long time.] So, since this still has not been settled for everyone, I will try to sum up what we have and do not have, among other things. This debate has centered around the following Pokémon: Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion, Mega Latios, Mega Latias, two Vivillon forms, one Floette form, and one Plate Arceus. Here is how things have been sorted: Diancie has an article, Mega Latios and Mega Latias have the information on several articles, Vivillon forms have been distributed, Floette is AZ's, Arceus can be transfered to Gen VI, and nothing for Hoopa and Volcanion. So, why not create the articles? Because they have not been [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ghost_(type)&diff=prev&oldid=2141974 officially released yet].

On the opposite side of this [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AEon_duo&diff=2078959&oldid=2078846 is how the Mega Latios/Latias info was given approval.] Again, I am linking to [[User:SnorlaxMonster]] has said in the past and about a different issue that may not apply. I would have recommend asking if Hoopa and Volcanion could be added to the [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation VI)]], which is the [[Index number]] counterpart to the [[List of items by index number (Generation VI)|items]], [[List of moves|moves]], [[List of locations by index number (Generation VI)|location]], and [[Ability#List of Abilities|ability]] articles. However, the article has not currently be created at this point in time, so I do not believe I can recommend that action.

== Editing of [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]] ==<br />
<br />
Basically, I just went to add that Bibarel is confirmed to learn the move at Lv.18 (no idea about the pre-evo yet, but I trust it's also the same). It seems that I am unable to save edits to that page. Do we know what is causing this? I just edited [[Acupressure (move)|Acupressure]] without a problem a few minutes ago. Meanwhile, I tried the chat room, but it's more interested in a bot trivia game (now over 1,300 questions in!) and the other official channel is - well - dead. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:40, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:I tried to edit it and it didn't go through. Maybe it's the amount of templates on the page? It's the only thing that really sets apart enough from other moves for it to be the only one to be uneditable. I'll see if someone can figure it out. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 20:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::Well, if any of them are complete, some could perhaps be converted to generic tables and left in like that (if they get vandalized, they can easily be restored). That might help with that issue. But then, I wondered why the learnset table was so far down. Clearly trying to include Headbutt as it applies to G/S/C.

:::Pages with lots of code transcluded to them, such as the code used in the template, exceed the maximum amount of code able to be used on a MediaWiki page. This limit is unable to be changed. The Headbutt page seems to be just before that limit. The page can be saved, it just takes a huge amount of time and a few attempts. But, any longer, and parts of the page will seemingly go missing, starting from the bottom up. We had a similarly large page on Wikisimpsons. We ended up needing to split the page up into several pages as huge tables of information just vanished. That might have to be done here too. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 20:48, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::If you'd like, I can take a look at it between assigning moves. I think provided the main page has the same types of data as the rest of the moves, it should be easy to move other data to a secondary page that doesn't need much editing. Also, if I cut the information off the existing one and save, I should have no problem saving less data.<br />
::::With that said, if you'd rather do it later, understood. But it keeps me and others from adding data to it until it's done, hence why I'd like to look at it. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:53, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
(Indent reset, any replies to the above can continue there, this is a separate segment.)<br />
<br />
I have copied from [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]] the data that I think can be removed from the page. What I will suggest is taking this off the page and having it linked separately on the page. This will bring the page data down to a more useable level that saving issues will hopefully be reduced. The current location of the copied data is [[User:CycloneGU/Headbutt|in my userspace]]. I'm open to working on the piece there and then moving it to the article space when it's ready for inclusion as a separate page. Or we can move it immediately and work on it already linked from the main page. What do you folks think? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:03, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:I think wait for input from admins before anything major is done to the page. Although the only way I can see the page being editable again is by splitting it up in my expert opinion (expert as I've encountered this issue before :P) ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 21:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::This is why I have already copied the data separately to my userspace. That way an admin. can move it to an appropriate title, the data removed from [[Headbutt (move)|Headbutt]], and the link made between the articles. I agree, this issue was encountered six or seven months ago by someone on that talk page, and we can't deal with this over and over. We might even need to reduce the size of some of the lists at the bottom of the page by indicating all Pokémon in the previous list are also on the following list, and just not list them; however, that is a more drastic change I won't explore at this time. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::I just had a separate afterthought as well (hence the almost immediate new edit, this is not a preview issue). The list of Pokémon learning the move by TM can be included on the second article.

[[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:12, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::(Addendum) I have copied the TM information to my userspace. Again, no edits have been made to the main page yet, and I'd like to help work on a separate article regarding Headbutt and the mechanics as used in Generations II and IV in G/S/C/HG/SS (hence why it's in my userspace right now, but I'm open to it being moved to the main space if admins. approve the idea). The obvious alternative is to not be able to edit the main page or have data go missing; this at least preserves the data. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:21, 6 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::For the record, I think it would be more appropriate to move the lists of Pokemon that can be found via Headbutt. Learnlists should all remain together, but we do have [[Hidden Power calculation|precedent]] for moving lengthy material about how a move works to a separate page rather than keeping it on the same one. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:34, 7 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::For the sake of full disclosure, I also [[User talk:Force Fire#Headbutt|brought this up]] with one of the admins. personally. Because Headbutt was only a TM in Generation II (replacing [[Razor Wind (move)|Razor Wind]] but since becoming [[Dragon Claw (move)|Dragon Claw]] in Gen. III, which has not changed since), and was likely made such for the specific reason of allowing players to buy the TM for repeated use teaching Pokémon the move to attack random trees, I have made the recommendation that the TM move data be placed there for that reason. I've provided additional points at the linked location.<br />
::::The TM section alone is 11,000 bytes of data, and with the page causing problems due to being so large, any space we can get would be useful at this point. If it is deemed after staff discussion that it should stay there, I would recommend putting the data on a page by itself and transcluding the data to the page. This could technically be done on both pages, in fact, since the data specifically applies to that game where the mechanic occurs. That way, the string putting the data on one or both pages is a simple string, and the data is its own page.<br />
::::For examples of how transclusion works, head over to Wikipedia and see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_NHL_season 2013-14 NHL season], specifically under Standings. All four charts there are located on other pages and edited on those pages due to the daily updating on each compared to the article itself. This way, people editing the standings and people editing the rest of the article aren't running into constant edit conflicts. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::UPDATE: Again, for full disclosure, see [[User:CycloneGU/Headbutt]] for how I'm proposing to reclaim the space on the page. I don't know if this is ideal for the staff, but the data I am recommending to transclude in this case should never have to be edited again, so the data page can be locked and the importing line in the article commented above and below warning not to modify that line. Of course, the data page would be moved first, hence why it's still a proposal. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:31, 7 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::::I've split the wild Pokémon only off into [[Headbutt (move)/Wild Pokémon]], as this needed to be fixed swiftly, since it was preventing editing of the page altogether. If you think the scope of the subpage should be different, please bring that up on its talk page. I'm not even that sure we need these lists (for HGSS, since Pokémon encountered are dependent on area rather than what category of area it is), but they can't stay on the Headbutt page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:02, 7 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
::::::I still can't save edits to a segment of the page. I still propose, since the TM data should never be edited, doing the same thing there by moving the page in my usersdpace and linking that there.

:::::::It certainly can be edited now, because my edit moving the wild Pokémon lists off the page went through.

::::::::As for keeping the TM list on the page, it has less to do with editing than it does with reading. A major reason people go to move pages is to see what can learn it (I would assume), and I don't want to split up learnlists across multiple pages. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:18, 7 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::::::::Re TMs: did you see the page I created in my userspace? No, that's not the layout I propose, but I basically copied the TM data as it currently appears to a separate document, which allows the header to still be edited (I grabbed after the header up to the next header, for the next table).<br />

== Wild Hold Items ==<br />
<br />
I've been a member for about ten minutes and I probably have no chance of anyone seeing this... but how about a page that states the Pokemon that hold certain items in the wild including the item and the hold percentage. Possibly even moves or abilities that change the item's effect or position like unnerve or thief. I'm not sure but I think it'd be helpful. {{unsigned|8BitRevenge}}<br />
:Actually, this is already done. On sections for items, if a wild Pokemon holds it in the wild in a game it is found in, the game section for that item lists it. The same for a Pokemon's page (under the "Held items" section), although it is only on the Pokemon's page that the percentage for that item is listed.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 03:37, 9 November 2013 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Dream World Moves ==<br />
<br />
This deserves attention. Dream World no longer needs its own section because, well, the Dream World is closing (at least in terms of naptime and usefulness) as of December 14. Additionally, we are updating Pokémon pages for Gen. VI now; since Dream World isn't there, we should not include it as a section.<br />
<br />
With that taken into account, do we or do we not have a place to list moves that are learnable in an earlier generation? If so, all Dream World moves should be moved to that location. We can also update those lists to take into account moves learned via Move Tutor in prior generations, or learned via TMs that no longer exist. If a move can be learned by breeding, we don't even need to list the Dream World move; see [[Pawniard (Pokémon)|Pawniard]], whose moves [[Psycho Cut (move)|Psycho Cut]] and [[Sucker Punch (move)|Sucker Punch]] are learnable via breeding. However, in the case of [[Butterfree (Pokémon)|Butterfree]], we have [[Air Cutter (move)|Air Cutter]] and [[Roost (move)|Roost]] unlearnable via breeding since Caterpie cannot learn any moves through breeding itself, and thus those moves belong in that section on Butterfree's page (which I've started updating except for the DW section).<br />
<br />
Thoughts? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:They're already on the "Generation V learnset" subpages (here's {{DL|Butterfree (Pokémon)/Generation V learnset|Dream World moves|Butterfree's}}, for example). I think that's fine, isn't it?

There are two pages with the same name differentiated by a capital letter: [[Time travel]] and [[Time Travel]].

== I have a question... ==<br />
<br />
I've noticed that the facility trainers (in the Battle Frontier, Maison, Contests, etc.) have the same name/team/quotes. Since these trainers are recurring, is it important that we put them on the page for their respective locations? Just wondering. -- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 23:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
:I don't think they have the same teams (at least for battle facilities; contests might). There is a pool of Pokémon that each Trainer has their Pokémon randomly selected from. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Disambiguation pages format ==<br />
<br />
I am pretty strongly of the opinion that most of the disambiguation pages are currently formatted badly. The numeric pages like [[046]] appear to have "good" formats, with the "disambiguated" links at the beginning; but it appears that just about all other disambiguation pages, like [[Aaron]], use a bad format, with the disambiguated links only appearing ''after'' the description.<br />
<br />
It's hard to provide a concrete reason why this is "bad". One possible rationale is that, in many cases, an article title alone can be enough to know which article you want, and any description appearing before that link just gets in the way; by contrast, anyone who ''needs'' that description text is not at all inconvenienced if it appears after the link. Another possible rationale is simply that, without the disambiguated article title at the beginning, I simply have nothing concrete to link the description with initially, so it's just a little abstract...<br />
<br />
It may be worth noting that Wikipedia's manual of style for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages#Individual_entries disambiguation pages] specifies that the (relevant) link should come first.<br />
<br />
Mostly, though, I just ''know'' that, for example, the Metronome disambiguation page works better like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metronome&oldid=2032134 this] than like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Metronome&oldid=2032138 this]. It always irritates me seeing the latter and having to navigate it...<br />
<br />
Do others agree that the "disambiguated" links should be written first? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:29, 7 December 2013 (UTC)<br />

Also, should I just add this information to the page [[Lumiose City]] instead, once I get the information?<br />

== Regarding APNG images ==<br />
<br />
In using Bulbapedia as a reference for various Moves, I noticed you employ the APNG format, however many of the animations are unnecessarily large. I've personally spent quite a bit of time building and deconstructing APNGs in order to understand the format. I thought I'd start my contributions by providing and animated version of [[a:File:Reflect_III.png|Reflect]]. Before I upload it though, I'd like to confirm my suspicion that the existing animations are intentionally split with the first frame being midway through the loop so that APNG unaware browsers will still display a useful illustration of the move. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 06:21, 29 December 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Version Exclusive Trainers ==<br />
<br />
I apologize if this is not the correct area to talk about this. The character box for trainers is made up of several templates, which means there is not a core talk page for this to go to. After the debacle of exploring Mt. Mortar in Gold (gen II) with every possible resource online and through game play, I have come to the realization, unless I still have not explored well enough, that three out of the four trainers are more than likely version exclusive to Crystal version. That being said, there is not an area in the trainer box to show if certain trainers are version exclusive. Due to this, articles with trainer boxes which do not state the specifics of certain version exclusive trainers are misleading, which should be fixed. That being said, I do not know exactly how many trainers are version exclusive, and I am aware that determining that would take a lot of time. One may say that due to it costing a lot of time to calculate the above, as well as it being so specific, that it doesn't matter. I wish to know the opinions of others to see if this is necessary...not just for my sake, but for any other viewer using Bulbapedia for information about locations and the trainers within them. [[User:Qj|Qj]] ([[User talk:Qj|talk]]) 02:30, 19 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
:(Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I remember my old VersusBooks guide from my childhood mentioning that the Trainers were new to Crystal. So I'm pretty sure you're right.) I wouldn't think it's necessary to change the templates. I think we should just be able to use separate section headers (i.e., it's "Generation II" now, so we could add a subheader under it for "Crystal only"). As for the time necessary, that may be an obstacle, but no logistical obstacle should be considered large enough to make us not even ''try'' to compile correct information. If we try and fail, sure, and the topic will almost certainly attract very little attention, but giving up before the start seems defeatist.

::Just so you know, a good amount of pages already have version exclusives separated (for example: {{rt|115|Hoenn}} has the trainers separated between Ruby and Sapphire (where all the trainers are pretty much the same) and Emerald, with trainers who have differences being marked off. It's the same with Generation IV Routes like ({{rt|212|Sinnoh}})). If any Routes aren't marked with version exclusive trainers it was either done by someone with one game assuming they all have the same trainers, or don't have version exclusives. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 05:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
:::Thank you for the clarification on the issue. I would have seen the separation, but the articles I visited had none of the separation you talked about above. I hope that editors willing to make edits to trainer boxes in the future will first make sure their information spans through all games of the generation in question, as to prevent future misunderstandings for all future viewers.

== Blaziken Mask/Meyer ==<br />
<br />
All right, so the episode that reveals the fact that these are the same character just so happened to air this morning. There is no more spoiler for North America, only for those who haven't seen the episode. As I don't believe it's natural to try to prevent spoilers five years down the line (hey, I only started watching the anime a couple of years or so ago), I think it's time that the two pages be merged. This has been brought up at {{red link|Talk:Blaziken Mask|Blaziken Mask's talk page}} and eventually [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABlaziken_Mask&diff=2035685&oldid=2031839 confirmed] by [[User:Blazingfist|Blazingfist]] there, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Blaziken_Mask&diff=next&oldid=2035685 another opinion given for a merge], and even [[Talk:Meyer|Meyer's talk page]] was [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Meyer&oldid=2075735 created] with a note that it should be the new home of the [[Blaziken Mask]] information.<br />
<br />
I first commented on [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2090589&oldid=2089765 March 17] (actually evening of March 16 for me) also noting we need to make the move within a week. No response followed until [[User:Mkbw50|Mkbw50]] suggested [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2092108&oldid=2090589 continuing use of spoiler tags] on the merged page; I disagree with this myself since it's known they are the same character now. Blazingfist and myself have since [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AMeyer&diff=2092827&oldid=2092108 commented further], but I decided it was time to bring more visibility to this and get more editor opinion on this.<br />
<br />
So...it's time to merge [[Meyer]] and [[Blaziken Mask]]. They are the same character; continuing to keep the pages separated implies they are different people, which would not be prudent for us to do. Let's discuss a merge.

:I don't think one exists. A category sounds like a good idea. As far as I know, the event-exclusive moves we currently have pages for are {{m|V-create}}, {{m|Hold Back}}, {{m|Celebrate}} and {{m|Happy Hour}}. Plus, some of the moves we know exist but don't know how to get in-game might be event-exclusive.

== Prior to Generation (#) ==<br />
<br />
Just notice that in Pokedex entries, "This Pokemon is unavailable prior to Generation (#)" is written. But as for sprites, all the genrations are listed, and then, "This Pokemon did not appear in Gen (#)" is written. Can't we just write "This Pokemon did not appear prior to Gen (#)"?

==Demographics==<br />
I'm getting the feeling that some of the populations are incorrect. For one, Safari Zone Gate seems to be way lower than it should be, and the attendants in the Pokemon Centre dont seem to be counted at all. Yet, The Talk Page of both Black City and White Forest has someone saying they should be. A lot of people seem to be unclear on this scince Ive seen comments of people on other Talk pages not being sure. I'm just gonna go ahead with (slowly but surely) recounting Johto, Kanto and possibly Sinnoh's cities and towns, including Pokemon Centre's Marts, and Gates. I'm ignoring Hoenn because that will change in OR/AS anyways and ignoring Unova because I dont know what Castelia City/Nimbasa City people were counted and which werent. And I dont have X/Y yet so cant count Kalos. Also, the older regions have been here a while, so checking stuff for them might have slowed down too. If anyone wants to help, or comment on this, then go on ahead. Just posting this here since I think a heads up would be necessary.

== Filter Problem ==<br />
<br />
I'm having an issue where, on a lot of pages, pressing the move-sorting filter will arrange the moves in an order for a different category. Instead of categorising moves by Type after pressing the arrow next to the "Type" heading, for example, the moves will be sorted in order of highest to lowest Accuracy. On the pages where this happens, it always categorises moves according to the fourth filter to the right. Pressing "Category" should order moves depending on whether they're physical, special, or status, but instead it goes in PP order. The "Power" filter sorts moves into an order depending on their Contest category, the "Accuracy" filter orders them by their Contest Appeal, and the "PP" filter orders them by their Contest Jamming level. This could just be my computer spazzing out, but it happens for me on a lot of pages. Is this a site bug? ''' ''<span style="color:#AB0047">Scribbl</span>'' ''' 09:40, 12 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:This [[Talk:Bulbasaur (Pokémon)#Correction|has been noticed]].

[[File:Electric Tale of Pikachu VIZ volume 1.png|thumb|{{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1}} cover artwork by [[VIZ Media]]]]<br />
'''The Electric Tale of Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター・電撃ピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Dengeki Pikachu'') is a four-volume manga series made by [[Toshihiro Ono]] and serialized in [[CoroCoro]]. It is loosely based on the [[Pokémon anime]].<br />
<br />
The manga follows the overall plot of the ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' and ''[[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' seasons of the anime. However, the story is not very sequential, as only a few select anime episodes were picked to be adapted into manga form. The manga concludes with Ash's victory in the [[Orange League]].<br />
<br />
The Pokémon illustrations in this manga are not based off of the official artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], and so many appear to be more/less stylized in comparison.<br />
<br />
==Differences between the anime and the manga==<br />
*The characters are the same as in the anime, although characters differ between versions in significant ways. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} does a significant amount of traveling on his own, although {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear frequently as traveling companions.<br />
*Many main and recurring characters own Pokémon that they do not own in the anime, such as [[Ash's Fearow]].<br />
*Occasionally, a story from the anime will be adapted to the manga, but will be altered slightly. For example, in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', Ash battles Misty for the {{badge|Cascade}} just like in the anime; however, she challenges him to retrieve his {{AP|hat}} from her rather than a traditional battle.<br />
*[[Sabrina]] is shown as a kind, caring person, unlike in other depictions where she is shown as cold and indifferent to others.<br />
*Unlike in the anime, [[Gary Oak]] is shown to have a sister named [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].<br />
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] are canonically confirmed as [[RocketShipping|a couple]] in this manga: they are shown to be married at the end of volume four.<br />
*Captured Pokémon are assigned "ranks" based on their rarity. Rank D Pokémon (such as {{p|Mankey}}) are the most common, while Rank A Pokémon (such as {{p|Clefairy}}) are the rarest.<br />
*Ash's clothes differ in this manga from time to time.<br />
<br />
==English translations==<br />
[[File:Electric Tale of Pikachu CY volume 1.png|thumb|{{Vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1}} cover published by Chuang Yi]]<br />
The Electric Tale of Pikachu has been released in English by both [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]].<br />
<br />
===VIZ Media===<br />
The Electric Tale of Pikachu was the first Pokémon manga to be translated officially into English, making its debut in {{DL|Pokémon manga samplers|VIZ Video samplers|sampler editions}} included with [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]] of the Pokémon anime and subsequently released in full as sixteen [[List of Electric Tale of Pikachu monthly issues|monthly issues]]. These sixteen monthly issues were treated as four separate series, each consisting of four issues, and ran from November 1998 through February 2000. When the issues were collected for their graphic novels, each volume was named for their four-issue arc: ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'', ''Pikachu Shocks Back'', ''Electric Pikachu Boogaloo'' and ''Surf's Up, Pikachu''. The VIZ graphic novels do not mention any volume numbers or relation to each other, as each volume is titled as though it is a separate series.<br />
<br />
The manga was heavily promoted by VIZ Media and was featured in several commercial advertisements. Aside from the promotional home video samplers, a collection was also released featuring the first two chapters entitled [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu Special Signature Edition Red Version|the Special Signature Edition Red Version]]. This special edition was included with a [[Pokémon Video Suitcase]] promotional set.<br />
<br />
===Chuang Yi===<br />
The Electric Tale of Pikachu was also released by [[Chuang Yi]] in their publishing region. Since the translations were licensed from VIZ Media's version, they contain all of the same edits. Chuang Yi's volumes do not have individual titles, though they also use the same English title ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu''.<br />
<br />
Chuang Yi's version of {{Vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|2}}, while based on VIZ Media's translation, restored the final two pages of ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' which were omitted from VIZ Media's version. As VIZ Media chose to omit the pages originally, these pages are the only two of the manga which Chuang Yi translated themselves.<br />
<br />
==International versions==<br />
In {{pmin|Brazil}}, the first volume of this series was released in four monthly issues. These are direct translations of VIZ Media's monthly issues and therefore contain all of VIZ Media's edits.<br />
<br />
In {{pmin|Canada}}, a French edition titled ''{{tt|L'aventure électrique de Pikachu|The electric adventure of Pikachu}}'' was published by '''Imavision Distribution''', the same company that released the Pokémon anime on VHS and DVD in French-speaking regions of Canada. The French version includes the first four monthly issues and are directly based on [[VIZ Media]]'s English version, including edits. The order of the issues for [[ET02]] and [[ET03]] is reversed in the French publication as well, just like the English.<br />
<br />
In the {{pmin|Greater China}} region, the manga has been translated to Mandarin by Da Ran as {{tt|電擊皮卡丘|Electric Shock Pikachu}} in Taiwan and to Cantonese as {{tt|電擊比卡超|Electric Shock Pikachu}}.<br />
<br />
There was also a translation in {{pmin|Indonesia}}n, renamed as ''{{tt|Kisah Pikachu yang Menggetarkan|Shocking Tale of Pikachu}}''.<br />

<br />
==Controversy and censorship==<br />
[[File:EToP Japanese volume edits.png|thumb|right|Comparison of several scenes between the original magazine version and the Japanese volume version]]<br />
This manga is perhaps the most controversial Pokémon manga ever published, due almost entirely to the fact that the original Japanese version of the manga series had a lot of sexual content, including women such as {{an|Misty}}, [[Jessie]] and [[the Sensational Sisters]] given oversized busts, often accompanied by skimpy clothing or swimwear. In order to make the series marketable to younger English-speaking readers, much of this was censored during [[VIZ Media]]'s translations and all of the sexual content was taken out, leading to a "cleaner" version of the manga for international readers. The Japanese volumes of the manga were also slightly censored from the original versions published in CoroCoro. According to Toshihiro Ono, these edits were done by himself.<br />
<br />
One scene in particular that was heavily edited was when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} battles Misty for the {{badge|Cascade}} in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In the original, Misty wears a very revealing swimsuit, which is completely redrawn as a wetsuit in the English version.<br />
<br />
There was one scene that was removed altogether from the English version. It is the original ending of ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]''. This scene was set in a hot spring, and it pictured a naked {{an|Misty}} (with {{AP|Pikachu}}) relaxing and washing herself, making a comment about how her chest should evolve, too. All of a sudden, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, [[Mikey]] and {{an|Brock}} are seen sitting in another hot spring, and they see Misty washing herself. Misty, noticing their presence, is extremely embarrassed and feels very violated; and she runs away in anger. This scene was likely deleted due to excessive nudity and the adult nature of the scene. This scene, however, is not removed from Chuang Yi's version.<br />

<br />
'''Pokémon Ranger''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャー''' ''Pokémon Ranger'') is an action-adventure game for the [[Nintendo DS]] developed jointly by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and [[HAL Laboratory, Inc.]]. It was released on March 23, 2006 in Japan, on October 30, 2006 in North America, on December 7, 2006 in Australia and on April 13, 2007 in Europe. <br />
<br />
==Basic information==<br />
* Basic gameplay involves traveling all over the land of [[Fiore]] and [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] Pokémon using the Nintendo DS touch screen and stylus.<br />
* Players can choose to play as a male or a female protagonist, and they can choose the name of their protagonist, the defaults of which are [[Lunick]] (male) and [[Solana]] (female).<br />
* Rather than [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, players take the role of [[Pokémon Ranger (Ranger series)|Pokémon Rangers]], people in charge of solving ecological issues, defeating and arresting criminals, and helping the citizens of their regions.<br />
* Instead of capturing Pokémon in [[Poké Ball]]s, players use a device called the [[Capture Styler]] to add Pokémon to their party by calming and controlling wild Pokémon.<br />
* Depending on the gender of their character, players have a {{p|Minun}} (for males) and {{p|Plusle}} (for females) for a [[partner Pokémon]].<br />
* Players can makes use of Pokémon's various capabilities to help them on their adventures but only once; after using them, the Pokémon leave the party. The only exception to this is the character's partner Pokémon.<br />
** [[Poké Assist]]s are abilities that, when used, give the Capture Styler extra power from a Pokémon, ranging from immobilizing Pokémon to strengthening the Capture Styler. Being based on the seventeen [[type]]s, Poké Assists can be used effectively on Pokémon weak to certain types. There are, however, no Normal, Dragon, or Steel Poké Assists, and the Discharge Poké Assist remains exclusive to the player's partner.<br />
** [[Field Move]]s are used mainly to get by obstacles players come across, and they are comparable to [[HM]]s. Certain obstacles may be tougher than others, requiring players to make use of stronger Field Moves; most Field Moves have three levels of power. Unlike Poké Assists, not all Pokémon have Field Moves.<br />
* The [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is built into the Capture Styler and acts like the [[Pokédex]] in the game, listing the 213 Pokémon native to the region. Its consists of Pokémon up to [[Generation III]], and it lists various information, including the Pokémon's Poké Assist and Field Move.<br />
* [[Ranger Net]] is unlocked by pressing <code>R + X + Left</code> after finishing the game. In the Japanese version, the Ranger Net missions could only be downloaded after pre-ordering a ticket for the [[M09|ninth movie]]. Ranger Net provides players post-game missions that feature the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Mew}}.<br />
** By using region-specific codes, players can unlock a mission that will allow the transfer of a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} to [[Generation IV]] games using their [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Because it is impossible to reset [[Ranger Net]], there can only be one Manaphy Egg per copy of the Pokémon Ranger game. It is, however, possible to completely delete the savegame using additional hardware (or homebrew software), therefore allowing an additional transfer after each complete deletion and playthrough.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The game begins with the player getting off of the boat in [[Fall City]]. The player then meets [[Spenser]], the Leader of the [[Ringtown]] Base. Suddenly, the two hear commotion and find a {{p|Houndoom}} terrorizing a Minun/Plusle (depending on the player's gender). To help calm the Pokémon, Spenser gives the player a [[Styler]] and demonstrates how to use it. After the player successfully captures and calms down the Minun/Plusle, Spenser makes the player a full-fledged Ranger and flies him, the player, and the stowaway Minun/Plusle to Ringtown on his {{p|Fearow}}.<br />
<br />
After arriving in Ringtown, the player meets [[Murph]] and Lunick/Solana (again, depending on the player's gender) along with the rest of the Rangers at the base. A man introduced to the player as [[Larry]] enters asking for help finding his missing Pokémon, prompting Spenser to give the player their first mission, "Trial Mission: Fear No Failure!"<br />
{{Incomplete|section}}<br />
After completing the main game and viewing the credits roll, the player has the opportunity to capture {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Afterward, there is a final mission where the [[Go-Rock Squad]] has returned and has angered {{p|Rayquaza}}. If the player is able to overcome the challenge of capturing Rayquaza, then the player has completed the plot of the game.<br />

===Others===<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Pokémon Ranger received mixed reviews from the press. The game was praised for its innovation<ref>[http://uk.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/pokemonrangers/review.html GameSpot]</ref> and lengthy main quest,<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/743/743781p1.html IGN]</ref> however the repetitive nature of the gameplay was criticized, with NGamer UK commenting that it was "narrow-minded and frustrating".<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemonranger?q=pokemon Metacritic]</ref> The lack of challenge the game provided was also criticized, Nintendo Power stated that "Pokémon veterans will breeze through the comparatively light challenge Ranger provides".

<br />
==Staff==<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Prior to its release, the game was often known as '''Pokémon Ranger: The Road to Diamond and Pearl''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャー ダイヤモンド・パールへの道''').<br />
* After the game, the player will face {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, who have recently engaged in battle somewhere. This may be a reference to {{game|Emerald}}, in which the duo face off in the climax of the story. However, [[Hoenn]] is not referenced in this regard, and it is not expressly stated that Kyogre and Groudon originated from another region.<br />
* Despite being released before the Generation IV core series games, Pokemon Ranger can communicate with all five to send a {{p|Manaphy}} Egg. This is similar to how [[Pokémon Colosseum]] can communicate with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and has character models programmed for the player characters for those games for use in battle mode.<br />
* Because the Pokémon Ranger games were not released in Korea, the equivalent of the met location of Pokémon Ranger in the Korean games is 다른 지방 ''{{tt|dareun jibang|another region}}''.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Salveyo Weed.png|right|thumb|A pile of Salveyo weed from the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
'''Salveyo weed''' (Japanese: '''アシレ水草''' ''Ashire water herb'') is a weed that only grows on clear lake bottoms. {{p|Poliwag}} are known to eat this weed. {{an|Misty}} used it to cure {{Ash}} and {{Tracey}} of a {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', with the help of a friendly {{TP|Misty|Poliwag|Politoed}}.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] had also been a victim of Stun Spore, and [[James]] and {{MTR}} also tried to locate the Salveyo weed to help cure her. They tried to steal it from Misty using a variety of techniques, including battling, trying to lure her with dresses, perfume and food, and even dressing up as a woman and her child. In the end, Misty just gave some of the weed to them since she realized all they wanted was to make Jessie better.<br />
<br />
After, in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'', Meowth used a medicine made from Salveyo weed in order to cure Jessie and James from the status caused by Vileplume's Stun Spore.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Salveyo weed is similar in both name and use to the [[Remeyo weed]] that was used to cure those inflicted with a status ailment, in this case poison.<br />
* In closed captioning, Salveyo weed is spelled out "Sangora" weed for unexplained reasons.<br />

Team Rocket mottos

<p>Sher-e-Bengal: /* Original motto */ .....srry</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]<br />
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.<br />
<br />
===Original motto===<br />

<br />
Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...<br />
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!<br />
<br />
Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.<br />
<br />
Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[S01|first season]]. <br />
<br />
There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.<br />
<br />
This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."<br />
<br />
Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.<br />
<br />
From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''"{{tt|*|in variations of the motto, the italic portions are replaced, and in the XY series, they are omitted unless it's a variation}}, and James now says either "To unite ''the people'' within our nation" or "To unite ''all people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".<br />
<br />

<br />
;''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto<br />
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines. <br />
<br />
;''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto<br />

:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!<br />

:'''Jessie:''' Salon Roquet! When it comes to chic we know what's right!<br />
:'''James:''' Surrender your taste or prepare to fight!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'' motto<br />
In this episode Team Rocket attempts to recite their motto before smelling something.<br />
<br />
:'''Meowth:''' That's them and they're on their way to the Pokemon Center.<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' (sniffs) Blech!<br />

<br />
;''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.<br />
<br />
:'''Meowth:''' May I invite you to prepare...<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' For trouble!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah! And while you're at it, you're better make it a triple!<br />

:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight for that {{AP|Pikachu}}!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff. At some point, Meowth says that they will eventually open a fast-food restaurant. This is the following dialogue:<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"<br />
:'''James:''' "James's"<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?<br />
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.<br />

<br />
Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.<br />
<br />
====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====<br />
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.<br />
<br />
;Cassidy's and James's motto<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!<br />
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!<br />
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe...<br />
:'''James:''' Of pie?<br />
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?<br />
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...<br />
<br />
;Jessie's and Butch's motto<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!<br />
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?<br />
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!<br />
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...<br />
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!<br />
<br />
===Sinnoh===<br />
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with <br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.<br />
<br />
It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.<br />

<br />
====''Adventures in Unova''====<br />
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.<br />
<br />
===Kalos===<br />
Just like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.<br />
<br />
===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Bonnie for the Defense!}}<br />
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by {{ashfr}}, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.<br />
<br />
===Butch and Cassidy===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Japanese lyrics and translations}}<br />
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.<br />
<br />

|}{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Sinnoh motto====<br />
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.<br />
<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!<br />

:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...<br />

<br />
===Ripoffs===<br />
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]<br />
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]<br />
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!". <br />
<br />
The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself — "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" — with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines. <br />
<br />
In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume, the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction; instead, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them. But even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto, angering them once again.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', the [[Mirror World]]'s version of [[Mirror Team Rocket|Team Rocket]] performed their own motto, reflecting their heroic chracteristics.<br />
{{Left clear}}<br />
<br />
;''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!<br />
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...<br />
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...<br />
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.<br />
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!<br />
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!<br />
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''<br />
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto. <br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!<br />
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!<br />
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Ash:''' Ash!<br />
:'''Misty:''' Misty!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!<br />
<br />
;Schpielbunk's motto<br />
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!<br />
:To protect the movies from devastation!<br />
:To restore spectacle and imagination!<br />
:To make great epics of hate and love!<br />
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!<br />
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!<br />
:Lights! Camera!<br />
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!<br />
:That's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''<br />
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.<br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!<br />
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?<br />
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?<br />
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!<br />
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now, or you're in for a fight!<br />

<br />
===Blasting off===<br />
[[File:Blast off XY.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]<br />
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ!」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again!", or simply "We're blasting off again!"{{tt|*|Exclusively this in the TPCi dub}} before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. <br />
<br />
Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.<br />
<br />
After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not scream their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jetpacks were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, when Team Rocket blasts off, they shout something other than "We're blasting off again!", such as in ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'' when instead they shouted "We're blasting off family style!", or ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', where they shouted "There's nothing sweet about blasting off! '''''AND WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!'''''". There are also occasions where they do not blast off per se, but they dissapear with the trademark twinkle by other means such as running away. In some very rare instances, they blast off without a twinkle, as seen in [[EP002|their debut]], ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'' where they fell into the sea instead, or ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', where they were hypnotized by a [[Flabébé]] into thinking that they were relaxed.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:<br />
<br />
:'''R'''aid<br />
:'''O'''n<br />
:'''C'''ity<br />
:'''K'''nock out<br />
:'''E'''vil <br />
:'''T'''usks<br />
<br />
When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.<br />
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.<br />
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:<br />
<blockquote><br />
<u>What's in a name? that which we call a rose</u><br/><br />
<u>By any other name would smell as sweet</u>;<br/><br />
</blockquote><br />
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is. This quote is also the origin of the title for ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.<br />
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".<br />
* The first two lines of the motto were mentioned and said by the Fortune Teller as a warning in an episode of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a show that was also dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (and also based on a Nintendo franchise). The episode the Fortune Teller appeared in was "The Fofa Factor".<br />
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos. <br />
* Toward the end of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Trainer Video]], the original motto is recited by various kids. It omits "Prepare for trouble; Make it double," and Meowth's name, and the kids make various mistakes before correcting themselves.<br />

<div>[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]<br />
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.<br />

<br />
Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...<br />
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!<br />
<br />
Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.<br />
<br />
Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[S01|first season]]. <br />
<br />
There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.<br />
<br />
This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."<br />
<br />
Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.<br />
<br />
From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''"{{tt|*|in variations of the motto, the italic portions are replaced, and in the XY series, they are omitted unless it's a variation}}, and James now says either "To unite ''the people'' within our nation" or "To unite ''all people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".<br />

;''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto<br />
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines. <br />

:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' (sniffs) Blech!<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
The rest of the motto was not followed in this episode.<br />
<br />
;''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.<br />
<br />
:'''Meowth:''' May I invite you to prepare...<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' For trouble!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah! And while you're at it, you're better make it a triple!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />

:'''James (''thrashes Meowth''):''' Stop stealing our material!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' All right, all right!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight for that {{AP|Pikachu}}!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff. At some point, Meowth says that they will eventually open a fast-food restaurant. This is the following dialogue:<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"<br />
:'''James:''' "James's"<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?<br />
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.<br />
:'''James:''' Our food isn't bad, at least not the worst.<br />
:'''Jessie:''' The Team Rocket Restaurant blasting for a bite<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' We stay open all day, we stay open all night!<br />
<br />
This variation is a heavy variation of the usual motto and sounds like a restaurant motto.<br />
<br />
;''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto<br />
In this episode Meowth, being hit by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe that worships Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.<br />
<br />
:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!<br />
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!<br />
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!<br />
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!<br />

<br />
;''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' motto<br />

<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You insult my hair? Prepare for trouble!<br />

:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!<br />
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!<br />
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!<br />
:'''James:''' James!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair is short but it won't be for long!<br />
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' motto<br />
Team Rocket comes down from a cliff along a zip-line, but just when they are about to recite their names, Jessie and James crash into a tree and become a bit dizzy.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''James:''' Make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />

''Meowth scratches both Jessie and James to their faces''<br />

Pretending to be baseball fans, Team Rocket recites the following motto upon stealing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]] (both were later freed).<br />

A small delay happens due to this. <br />
<br />

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.<br />
<br />
====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====<br />
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.<br />
<br />
;Cassidy's and James's motto<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!<br />
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!<br />
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe...<br />
:'''James:''' Of pie?<br />
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?<br />
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...<br />
<br />
;Jessie's and Butch's motto<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!<br />
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?<br />
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!<br />
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...<br />
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!<br />
<br />

<br />
In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with <br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.<br />
<br />
It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.<br />

<br />
====''Adventures in Unova''====<br />
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.<br />
<br />
===Kalos===<br />
Just like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.<br />
<br />
===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Bonnie for the Defense!}}<br />
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by {{ashfr}}, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.<br />
<br />
===Butch and Cassidy===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Japanese lyrics and translations}}<br />
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.<br />
<br />

|}{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Sinnoh motto====<br />
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.<br />
<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!<br />
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...<br />
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...<br />

:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...<br />

===Ripoffs===<br />
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]<br />
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]<br />
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!". <br />
<br />
The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself — "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" — with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines. <br />
<br />
In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume, the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction; instead, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them. But even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto, angering them once again.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', the [[Mirror World]]'s version of [[Mirror Team Rocket|Team Rocket]] performed their own motto, reflecting their heroic chracteristics.<br />
{{Left clear}}<br />
<br />
;''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!<br />
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...<br />
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...<br />
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.<br />
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!<br />
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!<br />
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''<br />
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto. <br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!<br />
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!<br />
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Ash:''' Ash!<br />
:'''Misty:''' Misty!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!<br />
<br />
;Schpielbunk's motto<br />
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!<br />
:To protect the movies from devastation!<br />
:To restore spectacle and imagination!<br />
:To make great epics of hate and love!<br />
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!<br />
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!<br />
:Lights! Camera!<br />
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!<br />
:That's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''<br />
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.<br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!<br />
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?<br />

===Blasting off===<br />
[[File:Blast off XY.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]<br />
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ!」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again!", or simply "We're blasting off again!"{{tt|*|Exclusively this in the TPCi dub}} before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. <br />
<br />
Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.<br />
<br />
After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not scream their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jetpacks were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, when Team Rocket blasts off, they shout something other than "We're blasting off again!", such as in ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'' when instead they shouted "We're blasting off family style!", or ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', where they shouted "There's nothing sweet about blasting off! '''''AND WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!'''''". There are also occasions where they do not blast off per se, but they dissapear with the trademark twinkle by other means such as running away. In some very rare instances, they blast off without a twinkle, as seen in [[EP002|their debut]], ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'' where they fell into the sea instead, or ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', where they were hypnotized by a [[Flabébé]] into thinking that they were relaxed.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:<br />
<br />
:'''R'''aid<br />
:'''O'''n<br />
:'''C'''ity<br />
:'''K'''nock out<br />
:'''E'''vil <br />
:'''T'''usks<br />
<br />
When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.<br />
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.<br />
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:<br />
<blockquote><br />
<u>What's in a name? that which we call a rose</u><br/><br />
<u>By any other name would smell as sweet</u>;<br/><br />
</blockquote><br />
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is. This quote is also the origin of the title for ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.<br />
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".<br />
* The first two lines of the motto were mentioned and said by the Fortune Teller as a warning in an episode of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a show that was also dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (and also based on a Nintendo franchise). The episode the Fortune Teller appeared in was "The Fofa Factor".<br />
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos. <br />
* Toward the end of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Trainer Video]], the original motto is recited by various kids. It omits "Prepare for trouble; Make it double," and Meowth's name, and the kids make various mistakes before correcting themselves.<br />

<div>[[File:Team Rocket motto.png|thumb|300px|right|At the end of a motto]]<br />
The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly has been left to the past. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...<br />
:'''James:''' ... and make it double, like you know that you should!<br />
<br />
Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation.<br />
<br />
Also, the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[S01|first season]]. <br />
<br />
There were many occasions in which they would use a radio or something else to play the background music. Also, in many later episodes, James said "fight, fight, fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying its name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since.<br />
<br />
This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."<br />
<br />
Team Rocket returned to this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.<br />
<br />
From ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' onwards, Team Rocket started using this motto again, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Some slight changes in the dubbed version are that, the first lines are recited in most cases as "Prepare for trouble, ''you know the drill''", "And make it double, ''you'll get your fill''"{{tt|*|in variations of the motto, the italic portions are replaced, and in the XY series, they are omitted unless it's a variation}}, and James now says either "To unite ''the people'' within our nation" or "To unite ''all people'' within our nation", instead of "To unite ''all peoples'' within our nation".<br />

<br />
;''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' motto<br />
As James was under the trance of {{p|Gastly}} he was not present with Jessie and Meowth when they encountered the twerps, and Jessie was left to say most of the motto herself. However, James later reacted to hearing the motto, and made his whereabouts known by saying his last three lines. <br />
<br />
;''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' motto<br />
In this episode Team Rocket opens "Salon Roquet" and for this reason introduces itself with a special motto.<br />

:'''Jessie:''' To give all Pokémon pretty faces!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our art to outer spaces!<br />

<br />

<br />
The rest of the motto was not followed in this episode.<br />
<br />
;''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket has followed Ash and his friends to Professor Oak's Laboratory. When they start singing their motto, Meowth is constantly trying to get a phrase for himself.<br />
<br />
:'''Meowth:''' May I invite you to prepare...<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' For trouble!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Yeah! And while you're at it, you're better make it a triple!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!<br />
:'''James:''' James!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth...!<br />

:'''James (''thrashes Meowth''):''' Stop stealing our material!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' All right, all right!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''James:''' Surrender now or prepare to fight for that {{AP|Pikachu}}!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth, that's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, Team Rocket starts to sell fake Badges to Trainers in the Indigo Plateau. Near the end of the episode, they realize that they are much more successful selling stuff than when they are stealing stuff. At some point, Meowth says that they will eventually open a fast-food restaurant. This is the following dialogue:<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' That's not a bad idea. We can call it "Jessie's"<br />
:'''James:''' "James's"<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Want a burger and fries without trouble?<br />
:'''James:''' If you are really hungry make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from hunger and thirst.<br />
:'''James:''' Our food isn't bad, at least not the worst.<br />
:'''Jessie:''' The Team Rocket Restaurant blasting for a bite<br />
:'''Jessie and James:''' We stay open all day, we stay open all night!<br />
<br />
This variation is a heavy variation of the usual motto and sounds like a restaurant motto.<br />
<br />
;''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'' motto<br />
In this episode Meowth, being hit by {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, flies up and falls on an island where a strange tribe that worships Meowth lives. Almost in the end of the episode when Meowth feels lonely and says he misses [[Jessie]] and [[James]], they both appear and recite a special version of their motto for Meowth. At the same time, the tribal priest and high priest beg Meowth to stay with the tribe.<br />
<br />
:'''The priest:''' Great One, our people need you here!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' I'm the one who needs you too!<br />
:'''James:''' Make it double, we both need you!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You protect us both from desperation!<br />
:'''James:''' You unite us all in jubilation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You help chase away our loneliness!<br />
:'''James:''' You're a mess, but we love you nevertheless!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!<br />
:'''James:''' James!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Team Rocket's friendship never ends!<br />
:'''James:''' So let's set sail on our ship of friends!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' motto<br />
Since Jessie gets her hair cut short by a wild {{p|Scyther}} in this episode, [[Team Rocket]] recites a special motto.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' You insult my hair? Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''James:''' It used to be there but now it's stubble!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect my head from humiliation!<br />
:'''James:''' Too bad her hair went on vacation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' My gorgeous hair was my one true love!<br />
:'''James:''' They went together like a hand and glove!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Jessie!<br />
:'''James:''' James!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Now my hair is short but it won't be for long!<br />
:'''James:''' And it won't stop our Jessie from doing what's wrong!<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Hairy!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' motto<br />
Team Rocket comes down from a cliff along a zip-line, but just when they are about to recite their names, Jessie and James crash into a tree and become a bit dizzy.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''James:''' Make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''James:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Jessie (''crashes into a tree mid-word''):''' Jes-!<br />
:'''James (''also crashes into the tree mid-word''):''' Ja-!<br />
:'''Jessie (''dizzy''):''' Team Blocket... rest off at the lead of spite... tonight...<br />
:'''James (''dizzy''):''' Surrender now or prepare... to surrender now... surrender now...<br />
:'''Meowth:''' Meowth! Say the motto right!<br />
''Meowth scratches both Jessie and James to their faces''<br />
:'''Meowth:''' We didn't mean to wake 'em all, but now we're gonna take 'em all!<br />
:'''Jessie & James:''' Well said, Meowth!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'' motto<br />
Pretending to be baseball fans, Team Rocket recites the following motto upon stealing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]] (both were later freed).<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Attention, [[twerp]]s, it's prepare-for-trouble day!<br />
:'''James:''' But you're both out, what makes it a double play!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect our team from devastation!<br />
:'''James:''' To excite our side with a big ovation!<br />

<br />
;''[[EP123|Spinarak Attack]]'' motto<br />
In this episode Jessie and James try to imitate The Black Arachnid, a well-known burglar. Upon breaking into a rich mansion and seizing a valuable trophy, they introduce themselves to the stunned witnesses with the following motto.<br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' How did they get in?!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Check your eyes and prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''James:''' We've got the prize, so make it double!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from its own greed!<br />

<br />
;''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' motto<br />
After quickly taking [[Ash's Bayleef|Chikorita]] off the Pokémon Center dressed as doctors, Nurse Joy ask where they are from. They respond with a variation of their motto:<br />

<br />
;''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'' motto<br />
In this episode, {{Ash}} challenges [[Bugsy]] of the [[Azalea Gym]]. During the battle, Team Rocket tries to dig a hole underneath Pikachu. While they are excavating, they start dreaming about the bonus that they will receive from their boss. During the beginning of the motto, they recite it without the usual music and stopping the words in the syllables.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Oh, prepare for trouble, that's what they should do.<br />
:'''James:''' And make it double, we're grabbing Pikachu.<br />

:'''Jessie:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />

<br />
Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.<br />
<br />
====''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'' mottos====<br />
In this episode the main antagonists temporarily split up, only to get reunited in the end of the episode. During the time they were split, [[Jessie]] teamed with [[Butch]], and [[James]] joined [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] (even though Butch never was with them). During the experience, both teams tried to recite a motto, which really didn't work because neither could remember the correct version.<br />
<br />
;Cassidy's and James's motto<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Prepare for trouble, it's a brand new day!<br />
:'''James:''' We're making it double anyway!<br />
:'''Mime Jr.:''' Mime mime, mime mime mime!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Let's see if I can remember my lines! An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''James:''' Sent here to fulfill our destiny!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' To denounce the goodness of truth and love!<br />
:'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' Whenever there's a piece of pie in the universe...<br />
:'''James:''' Of pie?<br />
:'''Cassidy (''stopping the motto''):''' Aaah... I goofed it, so what!?<br />
:'''James (''despairing''):''' Forget it...<br />
<br />
;Jessie's and Butch's motto<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Prepare for trouble, we've shuffled the deck!<br />
:'''Butch:''' It's not my thing, but what the heck!?<br />
:'''Jessie:''' An evil as old as the galaxy!<br />
:'''Butch:''' I'm doing this all from memory!<br />
:'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Butch:''' To extend my arm with a big white glove!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily looking at him''):''' Jessie!<br />
:'''Butch (''realizing that his previous line was somewhat idiotic''):''' Aaah, Butch...<br />
:'''Jessie (''kicking him in the face''):''' Cut! Do it right or don't do it at all!<br />
<br />
===Sinnoh===<br />
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again.<br />

<br />
In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with <br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[twerp]]ish voice I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?<br />
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.<br />
<br />
or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.<br />
<br />
It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.<br />

====''Adventures in Unova''====<br />
In ''[[Adventures in Unova]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted back to their original motto with some slight alterations to it, like James' line of "To unite all peoples within our nation." was altered to "To unite the people within our nation." and instead of just saying their names it changed from "Jessie." "James." to "It's Jessie." "And James" (sometimes "And it's James"). In ''Adventures to Unova'' the motto stayed the same just as it did in the original series but in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'' the motto is altered to the situation.<br />
<br />
===Kalos===<br />
Just like in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', Jessie, James and Meowth still currently use their original motto from the original series but it is altered to the situation at hand in the episode.<br />
<br />
===Meowth filling in for Jessie or James===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Bonnie for the Defense!}}<br />
In many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', in which Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by {{ashfr}}, they said their motto. Meanwhile they were saying that, Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry.<br />

[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.<br />

<br />
====Sinnoh motto====<br />
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.<br />
<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' A shrieking whine! A blast from the past!<br />
:'''Butch:''' Spinning like a {{m|Gyro Ball}} and moving fast!<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' To the moon...<br />
:'''Butch:''' ...And beyond...<br />

:'''Butch:''' Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need.<br />
:'''Cassidy:''' So here's a newsflash from across the wire...<br />

===Ripoffs===<br />
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Copycats...]]<br />
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|200px|...Ditto these two.]]<br />
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!". <br />
<br />
The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself — "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" — with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines. <br />
<br />
In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume, the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction; instead, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them. But even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto, angering them once again.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', the [[Mirror World]]'s version of [[Mirror Team Rocket|Team Rocket]] performed their own motto, reflecting their heroic chracteristics.<br />
{{Left clear}}<br />
<br />
;''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Misty:''' And you can make that triple!<br />
:'''Brock:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Ash and Misty:''' To unite all peoples within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''deadpan''):''' This was just...<br />
:'''James (''deadpan''):''' Too good...<br />
:'''Meowth (''deadpan''):''' To last.<br />
:'''Ash:''' You got that right.<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika!<br />
:'''Misty:''' We're defending the beauty of truth and love!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Let's do it!<br />
:'''Meowth (''interrupting them''):''' We gotta stop that!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''<br />
So far, this is the only episode of the series to show Ash and {{ashfr}} actually completely doing the whole original motto. <br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Prepare for trouble!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And make it Double, Double!<br />
:'''James (''angrily''):''' Uhh, quit imitating us!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To protect the world from devastation!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' To ignite all people within our nation!<br />
:'''Jessie (''angrily''):''' Err! This is insulting!<br />
:'''Ash:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!<br />
:'''Misty:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!<br />
:'''Ash:''' Ash!<br />
:'''Misty:''' Misty!<br />
:'''Brock:''' And Brock!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Duplica, that's right!<br />
:'''Brock:''' Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!<br />
:'''Duplica:''' Surrender now, or prepare to fight all of us!<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pika, Pika!<br />
<br />
;Schpielbunk's motto<br />
In the episode ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'' the director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
:Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!<br />
:To protect the movies from devastation!<br />
:To restore spectacle and imagination!<br />
:To make great epics of hate and love!<br />
:To direct the best films you ever heard of!<br />
:Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!<br />
:Lights! Camera!<br />
:Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!<br />
:That's right!<br />
<br />
;''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''<br />
In this episode Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a {{AP|Chikorita}}, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.<br />
<br />
:'''Ash:''' Team Rocket, prepare for trouble! On second thought, make that double!<br />
:'''Jessie (''surprised''):''' To protect the world from devastation?<br />
:'''James (''surprised''):''' To unite all peoples within our nation?<br />
:'''Ash:''' Maybe you think I'm a little too brash. But the master is here and my name is Ash!<br />
:'''Pikachu:''' Pikachu!<br />
:'''Ash:''' My Pokémon team is faster than light! Surrender now, or you're in for a fight!<br />

===Blasting off===<br />
[[File:Blast off XY.png|thumb|240px|right|Blasting off]]<br />
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ!」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("What a bad feeling!") in the original, which became "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again!", or simply "We're blasting off again!"{{tt|*|Exclusively this in the TPCi dub}} before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. <br />
<br />
Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie, and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.<br />
<br />
After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jetpacks in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not scream their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jetpacks were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still used their jetpacks in some episodes.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, when Team Rocket blasts off, they shout something other than "We're blasting off again!", such as in ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'' when instead they shouted "We're blasting off family style!", or ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', where they shouted "There's nothing sweet about blasting off! '''''AND WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!'''''". There are also occasions where they do not blast off per se, but they dissapear with the trademark twinkle by other means such as running away. In some very rare instances, they blast off without a twinkle, as seen in [[EP002|their debut]], ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'' where they fell into the sea instead, or ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', where they were hypnotized by a [[Flabébé]] into thinking that they were relaxed.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:<br />
<br />
:'''R'''aid<br />
:'''O'''n<br />
:'''C'''ity<br />
:'''K'''nock out<br />
:'''E'''vil <br />
:'''T'''usks<br />
<br />
When translated from Japanese, this motto means 'Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!'.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier}} is rather unique since it was said [[AG132|once]] during the ''[[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' season, and [[DP002|once]] during the ''[[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' season.<br />
* In every single one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]], he was the one who said the line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was said like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] say it.<br />
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:<br />
<blockquote><br />
<u>What's in a name? that which we call a rose</u><br/><br />
<u>By any other name would smell as sweet</u>;<br/><br />
</blockquote><br />
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is. This quote is also the origin of the title for ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.<br />
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".<br />
* The first two lines of the motto were mentioned and said by the Fortune Teller as a warning in an episode of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a show that was also dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (and also based on a Nintendo franchise). The episode the Fortune Teller appeared in was "The Fofa Factor".<br />
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese dub]], the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos. <br />
* Toward the end of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Trainer Video]], the original motto is recited by various kids. It omits "Prepare for trouble; Make it double," and Meowth's name, and the kids make various mistakes before correcting themselves.<br />

[[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]<br />
<br />
'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.<br />
<br />
'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a related but separate group of Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence. This category mostly consists of [[event Pokémon]], with the exception of Deoxys. No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Prior to Generation V, the terms were considered to be the same in all but the Japanese releases.<br />
<br />
==Characteristics of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon==<br />
==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br />
{{BaseStatNoCat|<br />
HP=93.13 |<br />
Attack=106.21 |<br />
Defense=99.42 |<br />
SpAtk=111.51 |<br />
SpDef=104.25 |<br />
Speed=101.15 }}<br />
<br />
Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. Similarly, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained at all through normal gameplay, and must be obtained through events or trades. (Mythical Pokémon also cannot be traded over the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] as of Generation VI.) The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}), and all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon except {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}} (and Manaphy only produces the unevolvable {{p|Phione}} when it breeds with Ditto).<br />
<br />
No Legendary or Mythical Pokémon is known to [[Evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[Legendary trio]] or [[Legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. There is one exception: {{p|Victini}}. Victini's [[Unova Pokédex]] number is #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.<!--<br />

===In the anime===<br />
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot (though some, such as {{p|Latias}}, are implied to be ''able'' to breed and simply choose not to do so). In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power.<br />
<br />
Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of this is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary golems}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have a Legendary Pokémon in a Poké Ball, and is also the first Trainer shown to own a Mythical Pokémon, having a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. <br />
<br />
There are some cases in which Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, though they do not do so in the games. Some are neither immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. The near death of {{mov|Giratina}} and {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} is also a debatable factor in the immortality of both groups of Pokémon. Only some, in fact, are often considered unique, these being {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Palkia}}, due to their roles in the creation of the Pokémon world and their respective regions. The other legendary Pokémon are simply just very rare and are not unique, but so uncommon that legends have been written about them (hence the term "legendary"). These legends can be heard spoken of in the anime or seen in the PokéDex. However, like real-world legends, these legends are commonly filled with exaggerations.<br />
<br />
==List of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon==<br />
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 39 are considered to be Legendary ({{#expr: (39/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%), and 12 (13 counting {{p|Phione}}) are considered to be Mythical ({{#expr: (12/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%; {{#expr: (13/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% counting Phione). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Legendary trio and one Legendary duo, with the notable exceptions of [[Generation V]], which introduced [[Swords of Justice|the first Legendary and Mythical quartet]] and no Legendary duo, and [[Generation VI]], which did not introduce a Legendary trio.<br />
<br />
===Generation I===<br />
The Legendary and Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[Legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.<br />
<br />
====Legendary birds====<br />
{{main|Legendary birds}}<br />
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]<br />
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).<br />
<br />
In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}. They also appear in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where they can be battled and caught.<br />
<br />
In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.<br />
<br />
====Mew duo====<br />
[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]<br />
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist. Mewtwo is Legendary, while Mew is Mythical.<br />
<br />
In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first Mythical Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, a wild Mew can be found on [[Faraway Island]], an event-exclusive area. This is the only time a Mew has been legitimately able to be caught in the wild.<br />
<br />
Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.<br />
<br />
In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been genetically modified from Mew in its Pokédex entries. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escaped from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br />
<br />
In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo received two [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VI]], which increase its base stat total to 780, currently higher than any other Pokémon. Mega Mewtwo Y was featured in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br />
<br />
===Generation II===<br />
More Legendary and Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9, as well as the second Mythical Pokémon. The Legendary and Mythical Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.<br />
<br />
====Legendary beasts====<br />
{{main|Legendary beasts}}<br />
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]<br />
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.<br />
<br />
In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.<br />
<br />
In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.<br />
<br />
Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.<br />
<br />
====Tower duo====<br />
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br />
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.<br />
<br />
In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated have a father. This implies that at least some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the anime, unlike in the games.<br />
<br />
Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.<br />
<br />
In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.<br />
<br />
====Celebi====<br />
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|{{p|Celebi}} on its [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]]]<br />
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity. Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released.<br />
<br />
In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[Trade|trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first Mythical Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward up until Generation V. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, [[Celebi (M04)|one]] accidentally brings [[Sam]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} also played an important role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which [[Grings Kodai]] wanted to use the "ripple of time" created by Celebi's time travels to allow himself to get visions of the future.<br />
<br />
===Generation III===<br />
Many more Legendary and Mythical Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17, and the third Mythical Pokémon being released. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient Legendary Pokémon for the team's own use. Mythical Pokémon, however, remained unrelated to the games' storylines.<br />
<br />
Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[Remakes]] of Generation III, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br />
<br />
====Legendary golems====<br />
{{main|Legendary golems}}<br />
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br />
This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br />
<br />
As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].<br />
<br />
In the anime, the [[Legendary golems (M08)|three Legendary golems]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.<br />
<br />
====Eon duo====<br />
{{main|Eon duo}}<br />
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br />
Another of Hoenn's minor Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br />
<br />
Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mega Latias ORAS Trailer.png|250px|thumb|right|Mega {{p|Latios}} and Mega {{p|Latias}}]]<br />
In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained [[Mega Evolution]]s. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma/Aqua, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and her/his subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon/Kyogre, the player receives an item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[SS025]].<br />
<br />
====Weather trio====<br />
{{main|Weather trio}}<br />
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br />
This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be version mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have shaped the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br />
<br />
During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br />
<br />
The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br />
<br />
In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.<br />
<br />
====Jirachi====<br />
[[File:385Jirachi AG anime.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]<br />
The third Mythical Pokémon to be released and the first introduced in Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.<br />
<br />
In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<br />
<br />
Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi made its TV debut in ''[[BW132|Searching for a Wish!]]'', during the [[Decolore Islands]] saga, when one emerged after a slumber of 1,000 years.<br />
<br />
====Deoxys====<br />
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]<br />
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first Mythical Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, Defense Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will starting from [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], [[Nacrene City]] in [[Unova]], [[Ambrette Town]] in [[Kalos]], and [[Fallarbor Town]] in [[Hoenn]].<br />
<br />
In the games, Deoxys was originally only available on [[Birth Island]] when the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}} is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all Mythical Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]]. As of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, however, Deoxys is now available without an event.<br />
<br />
Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', in which Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.<br />
<br />
===Generation IV===<br />
Nine more Legendary Pokémon and four Mythical Pokémon (five counting Phione) were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon and six Mythical Pokémon (seven counting Phione). Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon and three of the new Mythical Pokémon (four counting Phione) are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Pokédex.<br />
<br />
Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on any Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched—never surpassed—in Generation II and Generation III. In Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats was no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.<br />
<br />
====Lake guardians====<br />
{{main|Lake guardians}}<br />
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br />
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.<br />
<br />
In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation through Giratina's lair.<br />
<br />
In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.<br />
<br />
====Creation trio====<br />
{{main|Creation trio}}<br />
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|180px|thumb|right|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br />
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.<br />
<br />
In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====Lunar duo====<br />
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|left|{{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}]]<br />
{{p|Cresselia}}, a Legendary Pokémon, and {{p|Darkrai}}, a Mythical Pokémon, represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br />
<br />
In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]]. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.<br />
<br />
The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a Darkrai.<br />
<br />
====Sea guardians====<br />
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]<br />
The sea guardian Pokémon are a Mythical duo that, somewhat like Mewtwo and Mew, comprises a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a Mythical Pokémon that makes its home in colder seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.<br />
<br />
In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its Egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or it can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', in which, like in the games, it first appeared as an Egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', in which they were revered as bringers of good luck.<br />
<br />
Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with several pieces of evidence and even official statements often contradicting each other. Further information can be found [[Phione#Mythical status|here]].<br />
<br />
====Heatran====<br />
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]<br />
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.<br />
<br />
Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.<br />
<br />
====Regigigas====<br />
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br />
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br />
<br />
In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary golems are in the player's party.<br />
<br />
Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.<br />
<br />
====Shaymin====<br />
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|220px|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]<br />
{{p|Shaymin}} is a Mythical Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance. Unlike previous Mythical Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.<br />
<br />
In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].<br />
<br />
Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a major role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].<br />
<br />
====Arceus====<br />
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon Egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]<br />
The final Pokémon of Generation IV, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to Sinnoh legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an Egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber. Arceus has the highest base stat total of any Mythical Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]], where it can be captured. Despite being coded into {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Azure Flute was never released, so it is not possible to go to the Hall of Origin.<br />
<br />
In the anime, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in which it set out to destroy [[Michina Town]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina Town in peace.<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon and four Mythical Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon and ten Mythical (11, counting [[Generation IV]]'s Phione). {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black and White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression.<br />
<br />
====Victini====<br />
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|160px|{{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Victini}}, and {{ga|Hilbert}}]]<br />
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] Mythical Pokémon revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Black and White, if the player possesses the [[Liberty Ticket]], the player can take a boat to [[Liberty Garden]], where Team Plasma is attempting to obtain Victini for the energy it radiates. It is later revealed that Victini was sealed in the basement of the lighthouse by a wealthy person in order to protect it from people with bad intentions.<br />
<br />
Victini is a star of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].<br />
<br />
====Swords of Justice====<br />
{{main|Swords of Justice}}<br />
[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|left|200px|The Swords of Justice]]<br />
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}}, a Mythical Pokémon, whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br />
<br />
They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br />
<br />
====Forces of Nature====<br />
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br />
{{main|Forces of Nature}}<br />
{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].<br />
<br />
In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). They debuted in Therian Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of "Operation Tempest". Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.<br />
<br />
====Tao trio====<br />
{{main|Tao trio}}<br />
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br />
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other. <br />
<br />
In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom/Reshiram, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem/White Kyurem. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region. <br />
<br />
Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''.<br />
<br />
{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.<br />
<br />
Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers.<br />
<br />
====Meloetta====<br />
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|right|180px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two formes]]<br />
{{p|Meloetta}}, the third Mythical Pokémon of Generation V, represents music (Aria Forme) and dance (Pirouette Forme). Legend says that it once sang and danced joyfully. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody and its red shoes. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form. <br />
<br />
Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It made its TV debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' (in Aria Forme) and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' (in Pirouette Forme).<br />
<br />
====Genesect====<br />
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} in the anime]]<br />
{{p|Genesect}} is an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago. Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}. It is the final Mythical Pokémon of Generation V.<br />
<br />
Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}} visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].<br />
{{left clear}}<br />
<br />
===Generation VI===<br />
An additional three Legendary Pokémon and three Mythical Pokémon were added in [[Generation VI]], totaling 39 Legendary Pokémon and 13 Mythical (14 when including [[Generation IV]]'s Phione).<br />
<br />
<!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--> <br />
====Mortality Duo====<br />
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br />
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br />
The Legendary [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, is a tall, navy-blue deer-like Pokémon with white antlers with rainbow-colored lights, and is a {{t|Fairy}} type. Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, is a black and red bird-like Pokémon with black horns, and is a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} type.<br />
<br />
In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Xerneas is sought after by Diancie during the events of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in hopes that its Fairy Aura can grant {{an|Diancie}} the power it needs to be able to create a Heart Diamond. Yveltal is awakened from its cocoon form by a group of thieves fighting in the crater it resides in, and proceeds to destroy the thieves, Team Rocket, and ultimately, the [[Allearth Forest]]. However, Xerneas then appears, and uses its Fairy Aura to becalm Yveltal, and the latter then flies away. Xerneas then restores all life in the Allearth Forest before going to sleep in the form of a tree. It is revealed by Dace that Yveltal had destroyed the Allearth Forest years before the events of the movie, and Xerneas had undid the damage it had done. The Allearth Forest was said to have been forbidden due to Yveltal's presence afterwards.<br />
<br />
It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Zygarde====<br />
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}|left]]{{p|Zygarde}}, the Order Pokémon, is a tall black and green, serpent-like Pokémon with green and white hexagonal scales, and is a {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} type. It has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. <br />
<br />
In the games, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]]. It has not yet been featured in the anime.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Diancie====<br />
[[File:719Diancie.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Diancie}}]]<br />
{{p|Diancie}}, the Jewel Pokémon, is the first Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} type, and can create diamonds to protect itself. <br />
<br />
Diancie appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', where it is the princess of the [[Diamond Domain]]. It is given the objective to create a new Heart Diamond for the domain, as the current one is faltering, and seeks Xerneas and its Fairy Aura to gain the power to do so. It is sought after by multiple thieves who desire its diamonds, and ultimately gains the power to make a Heart Diamond in an attempt to protect its friends from Yveltal. It appears with three [[Carbink servants]] and an elder Carbink named Dace.<br />
<br />
It has the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Diancie.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Hoopa====<br />
[[File:720Hoopa.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Hoopa}}]]<br />
{{p|Hoopa}} is the second Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It has two formes. Hoopa Confined, the Mischief Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} type, whilst Hoopa Unbound, the Djinn Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Dark}} type. It is said to be able to be able to warp space in order to take things it likes and carry them away into alternate dimensions. It is also said to have carried away an entire castle in an attempt to steal all of its treasure according to some legends.<br />
<br />
Hoopa appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' in both its Confined and Unbound forms.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Volcanion====<br />
<!--[[File:721Volcanion.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Volcanion}}]]--><br />
{{p|Volcanion}}, the Steam Pokémon, is the third and final Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is a {{2t|Fire|Water}} type Pokémon that uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans.<br />
<br />
It is currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]] and has not been officially revealed, and thus has not yet been featured in the anime.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br />
* Generation I is the only generation in which all of its Legendary and Mythical Pokémon have appeared in a movie. Mewtwo appeared in both ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and The Legend Awakened]]'', Mew appeared in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', while the birds appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.<br />
** Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in anime appearances, opening sequences, and in a cameo in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', only to be Mew in disguise.<br />
** Groudon is the only Generation III Legendary which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in the opening sequences of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. There was a fake Groudon in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. However, the real Groudon has appeared with its counterpart, Kyogre, in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.<br />
** Generation IV is the generation with the greatest amount of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that have not appeared in a movie: the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Phione}} (though its Mythical status is disputed), and {{p|Cresselia}}. This group is notable for not even appearing via cameos in the movies, except for Cresselia, who appeared in the opening of ''[[M10|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. All five have their own debut episodes in the anime, however.<br />
**The [[Forces of Nature]] and {{p|Meloetta}} are the only Generation V Legendary and Mythical Pokémon to not appear in a movie. The Forces of Nature appear in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Meloetta appears from ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' to ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and in the [[Pikachu short]]s [[PK23]] and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''. <br />
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type|Flying}} Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, though the only Flying-type Legendary Pokémon in Generation IV, {{p|Shaymin}}, is only Flying-type in its Sky Forme, which was not introduced until Pokémon Platinum.<br />
* {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed, and also not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.<br />
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br />
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).<br />
* Other than {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there are no {{type|Poison}} Legendary Pokémon, making it the only type not to include any Legendary Pokémon.<br />
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.<br />
** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br />
*** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br />
*** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.<br />
* The Legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild Legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in eleven main series games each ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[Pokémon X and Y]]). The least available wild Legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.<br />
* Genderless Legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.<br />
* While the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref><br />
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon at the end of a generation of Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that is not event-exclusive.<br />

<br />
=== Curl Bay ===<br />
Once you reach Curl Bay, there is a {{p|Munchlax}} on the east, catch it. Then go north. There will be a cutscene in which the pinchers form Rasp Cavern are attacked by {{p|Raikou}} and they take their anger out on you. Get ready to catch a {{p|Piplup}} and an {{p|Eevee}}. The {{p|Raikou}}'s cry drives the {{pkmn|Pinchers}} away.<br />
<br />
Now go down the stairs on the east and break that rock with the help of {{p|Munchlax}}. Then catch that {{p|Shellos}}. Finally get that {{p|Buizel}} and the other {{p|Buizel}} on the top.<br />

=== Rand's House ===<br />
Once you get to Rand's House, you find that the house is on fire. Quickly put it out, you need a [[Pokémon]] with Soak 1. The nearby {{p|Totodile}} is perfect. Use it to put out the fire. Then a Huge Fire bursts out and the Team Target Clear Tutorial is activated. Now use the {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Buizel}} you caught earlier to put the Huge Fire out.<br />
<br />
Inside the house, [[Nema]] fixes your [[Styler]] and the Styler Modification Tutorial commences. Then get out and throught the east exit.<br />

=== Mt.Latolato ===<br />
Mt. Latolato is basically a single path. If you noticed a {{p|Bonsly}}, use Soak 1 on it to make it come up. There will be a pincher waiting for you with an {{p|Ivysaur}}. So be ready. After passing a {{p|Tyrogue}}, you see some rocks. They are actually {{p|Graveler}}.<br />
<br />
When you get on the bridge a pincher will come with a {{p|Wobbuffet}}. Catch it. <br />

<br />
== Wireless Tower ==<br />
When you get up to the Wireless Tower, you have to battle an {{p|Aipom}}, a {{p|Skuntank}} and a {{p|Gligar}} together. Use Poké Assists and loop away to victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Liberate the Wireless Tower ==<br />
After the coversation, get out of the shack and get in the Wireless Tower and the agitated Pokémon tutorial begins. <br />
<br />
Then go north then west and catch the {{p|Gligar}}. Then head back east and cut that Barricade. Then go north then west and you see some pinchers. Get ready to catch an angry {{p|Pichu}}. Then go up the stairs. <br />
<br />
The yellow path will have current flowing periodically, so try not to get shocked. Go north, then go east, then south and catch a Gligar. Then north, west and then cut the Barricade and proceed north. Catch the agitated {{p|Voltorb}} and then go up the stairs.<br />
<br />
Go west and open the Gate with an Electrify 1 from {{p|Voltorb}}. Go south and 3 pinchers are waiting for you with a {{p|Lairon}} and two {{p|Aron}}. The {{p|Lairon}} is agitated. They run off after the capture. Continue up the stairs.<br />
<br />
On this floor, there will be strong winds which continously push you in one direction. If you fall off the platform you will end up here. Go south then east through the yellow path. Then go north, east and south to reach the stairs. <br />
<br />
Go west and you see {{p|Raikou}} chasing the pinchers. Go north and get a {{p|Hitmonchan}} and go south then west and catch this one too. Use them to destroy the Huge Block to the east. Now one thing to remember is that you should catch as many {{p|Gligar}} as you can because you are going to need them. <br />
<br />
Proceed and you see a conversation between some pinchers. Then Raikou appears and destroys the antenna. Then you get to catch {{p|Raikou}}. Use {{t|Ground}} type Poké Assists to make it easy. It's your second boss capture and it has its rage gauge full, so use Poké Assists as much as possible. The {{p|Gligar}} you caught may be useful here.<br />
<br />
After the capture you will be prompted to register the symbol you see. Its Mission Clear. After you get down, you see that Burkhart has caught 2 pinchers, after a while they run away. So chase them.<br />

<div>==Fixing Pichu's Ukelele==<br />
After you get back to Booker's house, he notes that Pichu has broken its ukelele and sends you and Nick out to get the materials to fix it. The materials are on [[Dolce Island]] in a hollowed out tree stump (near the bottom of the area after you get washed up). Nick goes in and tries to get them, but accidentally disturbs six {{p|Sunkern}} who are in the bottom of the tree. Use Poké Assists to make this capture a lot easier. Afterwards, you bring the materials back to Booker, who fixes the ukelele.<br />

Avoid its attacks and keep looping it to get a victory. Afterwards, it takes you back in time where you meet Ravio. Ravio is unhappy with Celebi, and tells it to take you back to your time, to which Celebi complies. Then all the villagers ask about your disappearance before you continue on.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Jessie's Seviper''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのハブネーク''' ''Musashi's Habunake'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Hoenn]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===<br />
====Hoenn====<br />
[[File:Jessie and Seviper.png|thumb|left|200px|Jessie and Seviper]]<br />
Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".<br />
<br />
Seviper is Jessie's primary [[Pokémon battle|battling]] Pokémon, often seen battling alongside [[James's Cacnea]] in [[Hoenn]] and later [[James's Carnivine]] in [[Sinnoh]]. While shown to be fairly powerful before being caught by Jessie, after it fell into her command, it suffered the inevitable fate that all Team Rocket Pokémon face- defeat by {{Ash}} or another protagonist. <br />
<br />
Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s Contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the Contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the Contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', Seviper was send out in an attempt to capture Pikachu. However, Seviper noticed [[Nicholai]]'s {{p|Zangoose}} and the two of them start to fight, ignoring everyone else around them. They both fall into a river and Seviper knocks Zangoose unconscious with its Poison Tail. Just as Seviper is about to finish Zangoose off, Ash sends out {{AP|Corphish}}. Corphish uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} to attack Seviper, allowing Zangoose to escape. Team Rocket later uses a machine to amplify Seviper's voice to draw Zangoose to them. Seviper and Zangoose continue their fight while everyone else fights over Pikachu. Zangoose ends up beating Seviper this time and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Seviper was used in a [[Double Battle]] along with [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]] against [[Oscar and Andi]] and their {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Seviper ends up using Wrap on Cacnea, which causes Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks, sending {{TRT}} flying. Team Rocket later encounters Ash and May and agree to do a tag battle with them, with Ash using {{AP|Corphish}} and May using [[May's Skitty|Skitty]]. Cacnea and Corphish end up working well together and begin to get an advantage over the Seviper and Skitty. Jessie soon sends out Dustox to help win and the battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Meowth then takes the opportunity to try to capture Pikachu and has Seviper and Cacnea use Haze and {{m|Sandstorm}}. Pikachu is rescued and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.<br />
<br />
====[[Kanto]]====<br />
In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', Seviper was used to battle against [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and her Seviper. [[Barbara]] points out that Jessie's Seviper is weaker than Lucys, which infuriates Jessie and Seviper. Both Sevipers collide with their Poison Tails and true to Barbara's word, Lucy's Seviper's Poison Tail is more powerful and sends Jessie's Seviper flying. Lucy's Seviper finished it off with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, blasting Team Rocket off.<br />
<br />
==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
[[File:Jessilina and Seviper.png|thumb|230px|Jessilina and Seviper]]<br />
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', ''Jessilina'' used Seviper in the Appeal Round. Not much of the Appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s Appeal, focusing the attention on her, not on Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. The appeal ends with Jessie ordering Seviper to perform Wrap and Bite on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.<br />
<br />
In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', ''Jessilina'' decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to "practice" for the [[Hearthome City]] Contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use Poison Tail on Dustox's Poison Sting, making it spin and added extra-power to it. {{an|Brock}} even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination going to other side around and then [[Zoey's Shellos]] used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of Poison Sting and Poison Tail. Seviper and Dustox both were then easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Seviper was used along with Dustox in the Battle Round of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest. They were briefly seen battling against [[Nando's Kricketune]] and {{TP|Nando|Roselia}} in the semifinals. The battle ended after Roselia and Kricketune used {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}, respectively, to deplete their points.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Seviper was Jessilina's choice for the second round of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest. It battled against a {{p|Gastrodon}} in the first match and managed to win by using its Wrap attack, reaching the semifinals. There, it went up against [[Dawn's Ambipom]]. Despite putting up a good fight, it was eventually defeated, resulting in Jessilina's elimination from the event.<br />
<br />
Since Jessie has caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. It was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in Haze, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon under the shrouded premises.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee it's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore]]'', Jessie used Seviper for the [[Daybreak Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. In the appeals round, it made an entrance by coming out of its [[Poké Ball]], which was placed inside [[James's Carnivine]]'s mouth. In the next episode, it battled alongside Yanmega against [[Ursula]] and her {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Seviper and Yanmega were able to combine their attacks well, creating a Haze-Sonic Boom and Poison-Silver Wind. However, Plusle and Minun were able to defeat them using their {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} attacks, knocking Jessie out of the competition.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Jessie used it this time for the [[Neighborly Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, where it was used for the appeals round, aiding her win her fourth [[Ribbon]]. In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', Jessie used again for the [[Arrowroot Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} in the battle round, where it fought [[Princess Salvia]] (disguised as Dawn) and her {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. After a fierce battle it lost, but Salvia gave her the Ribbon for the performance she gave during their battle, allowing her to enter in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].<br />
<br />
In the Grand Festival, Jessie used Seviper multiple times, including the Appeals Round, a battle with {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} as well as a battle alongside {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. However, Jessie lost her final battle to {{an|Dawn}}. <br />
<br />
Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Seviper at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and thus would attract unwanted attention to the trio.<br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
From its debut Jessie's Seviper was shown to have a passion for battling. It quickly became Jessie's main battling Pokémon. It was also proven to be intelligent, outsmarting Team Rocket and not falling for their trap. It was also shown to be a mean and nasty Pokémon, which was why Jessie desired to catch it. Even though Seviper has been shown to care for Jessie, it did not hesitate from ignoring orders upon encountering wild Zangoose, a trait of most Seviper.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In ''[[DP023|Faced with Steelix Determination!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Jessie's Seviper. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: あかいキバ わわるとアブネー ハブネーク ''The red fangs, it's dangerous to touch them; Habunake''.<br />
*In Jessie's first encounter with Seviper, she was taller than Seviper. However, in more recent episodes, Seviper is much taller than her. This could be an error on the animator's part, or could just simply mean it has grown during its time under Jessie's ownership. <br />
* In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub, some of the noises made by Satō are retained along with Sinterniklaas's voice. When {{TPCi}} took over the dub, they stopped retaining Satō's voice.<br />

<br />
'''Jessie's Seviper''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのハブネーク''' ''Musashi's Habunake'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Hoenn]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===<br />
====Hoenn====<br />
[[File:Jessie and Seviper.png|thumb|left|200px|Jessie and Seviper]]<br />
Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".<br />
<br />
Seviper is Jessie's primary [[Pokémon battle|battling]] Pokémon, often seen battling alongside [[James's Cacnea]] in [[Hoenn]] and later [[James's Carnivine]] in [[Sinnoh]]. While shown to be fairly powerful before being caught by Jessie, after it fell into her command, it suffered the inevitable fate that all Team Rocket Pokémon face- defeat by {{Ash}} or another good character. <br />
<br />
Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s Contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the Contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the Contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', Seviper was send out in an attempt to capture Pikachu. However, Seviper noticed [[Nicholai]]'s {{p|Zangoose}} and the two of them start to fight, ignoring everyone else around them. They both fall into a river and Seviper knocks Zangoose unconscious with its Poison Tail. Just as Seviper is about to finish Zangoose off, Ash sends out {{AP|Corphish}}. Corphish uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} to attack Seviper, allowing Zangoose to escape. Team Rocket later uses a machine to amplify Seviper's voice to draw Zangoose to them. Seviper and Zangoose continue their fight while everyone else fights over Pikachu. Zangoose ends up beating Seviper this time and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Seviper was used in a [[Double Battle]] along with [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]] against [[Oscar and Andi]] and their {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Seviper ends up using Wrap on Cacnea, which causes Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks, sending {{TRT}} flying. Team Rocket later encounters Ash and May and agree to do a tag battle with them, with Ash using {{AP|Corphish}} and May using [[May's Skitty|Skitty]]. Cacnea and Corphish end up working well together and begin to get an advantage over the Seviper and Skitty. Jessie soon sends out Dustox to help win and the battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Meowth then takes the opportunity to try to capture Pikachu and has Seviper and Cacnea use Haze and {{m|Sandstorm}}. Pikachu is rescued and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.<br />
<br />
====[[Kanto]]====<br />
In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', Seviper was used to battle against [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and her Seviper. [[Barbara]] points out that Jessie's Seviper is weaker than Lucys, which infuriates Jessie and Seviper. Both Sevipers collide with their Poison Tails and true to Barbara's word, Lucy's Seviper's Poison Tail is more powerful and sends Jessie's Seviper flying. Lucy's Seviper finished it off with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, blasting Team Rocket off.<br />
<br />
==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
[[File:Jessilina and Seviper.png|thumb|230px|Jessilina and Seviper]]<br />
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', ''Jessilina'' used Seviper in the Appeal Round. Not much of the Appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s Appeal, focusing the attention on her, not on Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. The appeal ends with Jessie ordering Seviper to perform Wrap and Bite on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.<br />
<br />
In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', ''Jessilina'' decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to "practice" for the [[Hearthome City]] Contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use Poison Tail on Dustox's Poison Sting, making it spin and added extra-power to it. {{an|Brock}} even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination going to other side around and then [[Zoey's Shellos]] used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of Poison Sting and Poison Tail. Seviper and Dustox both were then easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Seviper was used along with Dustox in the Battle Round of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest. They were briefly seen battling against [[Nando's Kricketune]] and {{TP|Nando|Roselia}} in the semifinals. The battle ended after Roselia and Kricketune used {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}, respectively, to deplete their points.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Seviper was Jessilina's choice for the second round of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest. It battled against a {{p|Gastrodon}} in the first match and managed to win by using its Wrap attack, reaching the semifinals. There, it went up against [[Dawn's Ambipom]]. Despite putting up a good fight, it was eventually defeated, resulting in Jessilina's elimination from the event.<br />
<br />
Since Jessie has caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. It was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in Haze, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon under the shrouded premises.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee it's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore]]'', Jessie used Seviper for the [[Daybreak Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. In the appeals round, it made an entrance by coming out of its [[Poké Ball]], which was placed inside [[James's Carnivine]]'s mouth. In the next episode, it battled alongside Yanmega against [[Ursula]] and her {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Seviper and Yanmega were able to combine their attacks well, creating a Haze-Sonic Boom and Poison-Silver Wind. However, Plusle and Minun were able to defeat them using their {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} attacks, knocking Jessie out of the competition.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Jessie used it this time for the [[Neighborly Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, where it was used for the appeals round, aiding her win her fourth [[Ribbon]]. In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', Jessie used again for the [[Arrowroot Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} in the battle round, where it fought [[Princess Salvia]] (disguised as Dawn) and her {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. After a fierce battle it lost, but Salvia gave her the Ribbon for the performance she gave during their battle, allowing her to enter in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].<br />
<br />
In the Grand Festival, Jessie used Seviper multiple times, including the Appeals Round, a battle with {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} as well as a battle alongside {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. However, Jessie lost her final battle to {{an|Dawn}}. <br />
<br />
Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Seviper at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and thus would attract unwanted attention to the trio.<br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
From its debut Jessie's Seviper was shown to have a passion for battling. It quickly became Jessie's main battling Pokémon. It was also proven to be intelligent, outsmarting Team Rocket and not falling for their trap. It was also shown to be a mean and nasty Pokémon, which was why Jessie desired to catch it. Even though Seviper has been shown to care for Jessie, it did not hesitate from ignoring orders upon encountering wild Zangoose, a trait of most Seviper.<br />

== Booker's House ==<br />
After the conversation in which you tell your story and everything, you find that {{p|Pichu}} is missing.<br />
Soon you start your first Mission.<br />
<br />
== Cocona Village ==<br />
Get out of the house and go north. You can save and recharge at the machines kept there. Then go west for some time and a man will run to you and warn you. Now enter the forest.<br />

<br />
== Teakwood Forest ==<br />
Most of the [[Pokémon]] around here are scared by the commotion so you will have to chase them as they will run when they see you. Go north and you see the {{pkmn|Pinchers}} again, catching a Pokémon. Then you see the [[Poké Assist]] tutorial. After the tutorial, follow the path west when you get to the place where {{p|Spinarak}} fall on you. Catch a Pokémon with Cut 1 To cut the small log. {{p|Hoothoot}} is the nearest but if you have a {{p|Wingull}} it can also help. Then go north and you see the Pinchers trying to pinch Ukulele {{p|Pichu}}, that is until [[Ralph]] interferes. They order {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Croagunk}} to attack you. This is your first group capture, so just focus on one first then go for the other one. After the capture {{p|Pichu}} runs off into the cave. There is a save machine there, so save if you want and get in the cave. Also there is a {{p|Pachirisu}} there, it can recharge your styler.<br />

Follow the path north, catch a {{p|Koffing}} and then go east. Use {{p|Koffing}} to push the Round Rock down. Now follow the path and jump down from the ledge. Then you catch up with [[Arley]], the person you are searching for. You find that he is okay. Then {{p|Pichu}} goes in deeper. You might notice a stone depicting {{p|Drapion}}, it will open up later. For now Follow {{p|Pichu}}.<br />
<br />
You see pinchers doing something. Then {{p|Pichu}} comes in and tries to shock the pinchers, but ends up getting its ukulele broken. You come in and immediately get to capture {{p|Cranidos}}. Catch it and the pinchers fly off. As they fly off {{p|Raikou}} appears and chases them away. And that is a Mission Clear and you get 50 ranger points. Go east and don't mind the locked door for now. Go south and then west. Enter the room on the west and catch that {{p|Cranidos}}, then exit the cave with the other exit. If you use a Tackle 1 on the tree there a {{p|Murkrow}} will fall down. Break that rock on the west with {{p|Cranidos}}. Exit the forest.<br />

<p>Sher-e-Bengal: /* Pincher Attack, Discovering the Island */</p>
<hr />
<div>==Pincher Attack, Discovering the Island==<br />
On [[Dolce Island]], there's a cute little {{p|Pichu}} playing a tune on their ukulele for its friends. The same enemies also reach here, and using something they refer to as a Control Gauntlet, they start to control the Pokémon nearby.<br />
<br />
You learn from [[Professor Hastings]] that this group is called The [[Pokémon Pinchers]], and they've been stealing Pokémon left and right.<br />
<br />
You wash up on the shore of [[Dolce Island]], but your [[Styler]] is malfunctioning now. Reprogram it by entering your name, and head north.<br />
<br />
You'll run into the Pichu you saw earlier, and it seems a bit upset. Befriend it through a capture, remembering to avoid its attacks and filling its Friendship Gauge.<br />
<br />
Pichu will play, and an old local man named Booker will introduce himself to you. He invites you to [[Renbow Island]], so head north with him to reach his boat on the Eastern Beach.<br />
<br />
Now that you've met Booker, the local Pokémon start to relax, and give you a chance to capture them. Take this opportunity to befriend more Pokémon and fill your Browser.<br />
<br />
When you see the {{p|Sentret}}, head east. A log is blocking the path, but the friend Pokémon you have made may be able to help you. Perform a Target Clear, using a Pokémon with the "Cut 1" field move. Pokémon nearby that have that field move are {{p|Sunkern}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Wingull}}.<br />
<br />
After finally making it to Eastern Beach, you must now push [[Booker]]'s boat down to the water. Find a Pokémon to help you with this Target Clear. The nearby {{p|Ursaring}} would be a perfect friend.<br />
<br />
Talk with Booker and say yes to make your way to [[Renbow Island]]. The Pichu that was befriended would be here too.<br />

==Flying Above Oblivia==<br />
You start out, flying high above the region of Oblivia. You see either {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}} (depending on whether you're playing as a girl or boy) being chased by strange people on weird flying contraptions. It's revealed that you are a [[Pokémon Ranger (Ranger series)|Pokémon Ranger]] on a special assignment. <br />
The strange people attack you with {{p|Pidgey}}, which is your first capture. Draw loops around it, avoiding its attacks, and once its Friendship Gauge is full, you've succeeded.<br />
After a successful capture, the legendary Pokémon will escape, angering your enemies. They shoot at you with plasma cannons, so dodge quickly.<br />
At this point, [[Summer]] or [[Ben]] will join you. However, the enemies' leader appears and readies himself to attack your partner, and to protect your friend, you throw yourself in front of them and end up falling into the sea.<br />
<br />
==In the Ocean==<br />
When you land in the ocean your styler detaches from your wrist before a {{p|Mantyke}} takes it and swims away. You need to retrieve it. Use the touch screen to steer and avoid attacks and touch the player to speed up once the red bar has turned green. When you catch up to {{p|Mantyke}}. It uses {{m|Bubble}} which causes 1 damage. Retrieve the styler, you'll get a message that something big is headed your way. You feel the rumbling and are washed away by a submarine. <br />

[[File:2nd 4kids logo.png|right|thumb|The company's former logo]]<br />
'''4Kids Entertainment''' was an American company which was responsible for the production of the English-language version of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1998 until 2005 (effectively seasons 1 through 8). They were also in charge of English productions for a number of other anime series, as well as creating original series from 1997 to 2013. Among anime fans, the company is notorious for its heavy editing of Japanese versions of series such as ''{{wp|One Piece}}'' and ''{{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}}''. However, Pokémon is actually among its most faithful adaptations. The company also handled licensing for many other Nintendo products and properties, including ''{{fzw|F-Zero: GP Legend (anime)|F-Zero}}'' and ''{{wk|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby}}'', until 4Kids let the licensing agreement expire in 2006.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Starting with the TV special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and continuing through season 9 onward, Pokémon USA (now known as [[The Pokémon Company International]]), maintained the English-language version of the Pokémon anime. Beginning in May 2008, 4Kids took control of the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} block. The block is now known as {{wp|The CW 4Kids}}. 4Kids announced that in order to retain control of TheCW4Kids, 4KidsTV will move online instead of being on FOX affiliates as of January 1, 2009. This block was later replaced with Toonzai, which was also owned by 4Kids. In 2012, 4Kids also ended the Toonzai block. Saban Brands then created the block called Vortexx, taking Toonzai's previous timeslot. This block was cancelled in 2014. As of 2015, many 4Kids television dubs no longer air on American Television (with the exception of the early seasons of Pokemon and the Pokemon Movies that they dubbed).<br />
<br />
On June 1, 2010, the {{wp|New York Stock Exchange}} delisted 4Kids from their listings.<br />
<br />
{{wp|TV Tokyo}} and {{wp|Nihon Ad Systems}} sued 4Kids Entertainment on March 24, 2011, due to "underpayments, wrongful deductions, and unmet obligations" concerning the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise. TV Tokyo and Nihon claimed that 4Kids' collaboration with {{wp|Funimation Entertainment}} violated their original contract and enabled 4Kids to hide income amassed from home video production. They sought $4,792,460.36 USD in damages as a result. <ref>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-03-29/tv-tokyo-nihon-ad-terminate-yu-gi-oh-deal-sue-4kids</ref> In the midst of the lawsuit, 4Kids filed for {{wp|Chapter 11 Bankruptcy}} protection on April 6, 2011. The lawsuit was settled on February 29, 2012, with 4Kids retaining rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise after a judge ruled that TV Tokyo and NAS had improperly terminated their agreement with 4Kids.<ref>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-31/4kids-yu-gi-oh-license-is-still-in-force-court-rules</ref><br />
<br />
In June 2012, {{wp|Saban Brands}} purchased the rights to several of 4Kids' anime properties, including {{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}, {{wp|Sonic X}}, {{wp|Cubix}} and the Toonzai block. The rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise were sold to {{wp|Konami}} (who also acquired 4Kids Productions, reincorporating it as 4K Media).<ref>https://twitter.com/nickandmore/status/213805772507856896</ref><br />
<br />
On December 5, 2012 4Kids Entertainment announced that it had ended a dispute (over the so-called Pokémon agreement) with The Pokémon Company International under which TPCi will get a $1 million general unsecured claim against the debtor.<br />
<br />
In December 13, 2012, 4Kids announced that they have exited their bankruptcy, and was reworking the structure of their company.<br />
<br />
In December 21, 2012 4Kids was reincorporated as '''4Licensing Corporation'''.<br />
<br />
==Typical edits==<br />
Common complaints from fans concern 4Kids' tendency to edit some parts of the anime programming to make it more appropriate for the American audience (primarily children and pre-teenagers). There are various types of edits, which can be broken down into these categories:<br />
<br />
* Cultural changes - Scenes relating to Japanese culture were often edited to be more accessible to American audiences. One example of this is the renaming of [[rice ball|onigiri]], which has been called a variety of things, from donuts to popcorn balls.<br />
<br />
* Dialog edit - Sometimes a character's lines are edited so as to change the meaning. For example, in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'''s dub, Attila is Hun's new partner, whereas they had known each other for years in the original.<br />
<br />
* Puns - Occasionally, a pun is made in the original that is lost in translation. More commonly, however, puns are put in where they were not before, such as in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' where Meowth ''pun''-ishes Jessie and James. Puns were also used in the episode titles, a practice which [[The Pokémon Company International]] decided to continue until the start of the {{series|Best Wishes}}<br />
<br />
* Music edit - In the Indigo League and Orange Islands seasons (and some of the movies), 4Kids kept most of the original Japanese music in the dub and added their own pieces to fill moments of silence in the series. All original music was kept beginning with movie 4, though the title screen music was changed for movies 4 and 5. Then, from the Johto League season to the Battle Frontier season (including Pokémon Chronicles), 4Kids replaced most of the Japanese music with their own music.<br />
<br />
* Paint edit - Usually this is when Japanese text is removed, but it can be used for other things such as physically turning an onigiri into a sandwich in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]''.<br />
<br />
* Cut - Sometimes a scene is removed completely. This is sometimes done for time constraints. Often, however, it is done as censorship, such as in James' breast scene in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' or in the case of 'excessive' violence. <br />
<br />
* Scene Switch - Occasionally, scenes are moved around, For example, several attacks are performed out of order in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]''. <br />
<br />
* Motto - Team Rocket's motto usually changes slightly in each episode in the dub, yet in most cases it is exactly the same in the original.<br />
<br />
* Opening/Ending - 4Kids create their own openings, using their own music. While the original has its own unique ending, the dub just has a shorter version of the opening along the left side of the screen. Alternatively, they may use an instrumental of the opening song in the ending. <br />
<br />
* [[Who's That Pokémon?]] - Often, the Pokémon, layout, and presentation are different in the original. Although this feature stopped in Japan at the end of the Johto saga, it continued through [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] in the dub. For [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]], this was replaced by {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}}.<br />
<br />
* [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]/[[Pikachu's Jukebox]]/[[Pokémon Karaokémon]] - These music video segments which were shown in the early seasons of the dub were not present in the original.<br />

'''Iris''' (Japanese: '''アイリス''' ''Iris'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. She was one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Opelucid City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Opelucid Gym]], giving out the {{badge|Legend}}, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}. Two years later, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, she is the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Iris appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In both versions, she shows up in [[Castelia City]] to aid the player, [[Burgh]], and [[Bianca]] when Bianca's Munna is stolen; during this time, she acts as Bianca's bodyguard.<br />
<br />
In {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, she is the [[Gym Leader]] of Opelucid City's Gym. This Gym is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}}. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br />
<br />
In {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}}, she will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to the player's {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon if they have full [[friendship]]. She can be found on the first floor of [[Drayden]]'s home in Opelucid City.<br />
<br />
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later makes another appearance in Opelucid City, but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, replacing [[Alder]]. After training extensively under Drayden, she battled and defeated Alder after he retired as Champion, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.<br />

===Quotes===<br />
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br />
'''[[Castelia City]]'''<br />
* At Prime Pier<br />
:''"I heard this lady's scream and ran after the thief as fast as I could. But this city is so big and so crowded... I'm afraid I lost them."''<br />
:''"But that's so bad! Taking people's Pokémon is really bad! 'Cause it's really nice when people and Pokémon are together! They each have something the other doesn't, and they help each other!"''<br />
:''"I'm gonna be [[Bianca]]'s bodyguard. So you go after those bad guys, OK?"''<br />
<br />
* On Gym Street<br />
:''"Phew, we got lost. Even with the directions from the [[Xtransceiver]], I couldn't figure it out!"''<br />
:''"OK! This time, I'll join the fight! Come on, Bianca. You too!"''<br />
<br />
* In [[Team Plasma]]'s hideout<br />
:''"I am! It's the {{p|Zekrom|black}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Reshiram|white}}{{sup/5|W}} {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, right?<br />
:''"Bianca! Why are you thanking them? They take people's precious Pokémon!"''<br />
:''"What are you doing? Why are you letting them get away?!"''<br />
:''"OK, if you're happy..."''<br />
:''"Don't worry! I'll keep being your bodyguard!"''<br />
:''"Also, thanks for looking for the Pokémon! Here, this is for you! See you!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Opelucid City]]'''<br />
* After [[Ghetsis]]'s speech<br />
:''"What was that about? That speech was off-the-charts strange!"''<br />
:''"Oh! Mr. [[Alder]]! ...And the {{tt|guy/girl|variation depends on the gender of the player character}} who helped out that time."''<br />
:''"Are you talking about {{p|Reshiram}}? Or {{p|Zekrom}}? What's the sudden interest?"''<br />
:''"Oh, no! The {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon get along so well!"''<br />
:''"Aww... He's gone. Is he OK? He looked kinda scary."''<br />
:''"You bet! If it's Opelucid City, I can take you anywhere. As for the story of Reshiram and Zekrom, we'll tell you all we know about it! This way!"''<br />
:''"That way!"''<br />
<br />
* Near [[Drayden]]'s house<br />
:''"Just a little farther!"''<br />
<br />
* In front of Drayden's house<br />
:''"This is it!"''<br />
<br />
* In Drayden's house<br />
:''"That single Dragon Pokémon, along with twin heroes, brought a new region into being. And people and Pokémon had happy lives!"''<br />
:''"In its pursuit of truth, the white Dragon-type Pokémon sought to usher in a new and better world... Its name was Reshiram. And the other, the black Dragon-type Pokémon, sought ideals and to usher in a new world--a world of hope. Its name was Zekrom."''<br />
:''"But, but... The two heroes' sons started the battle again! And an instant later, Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed Unova with fire and lightning! Then, they disappeared! But, but... If people work with Pokémon in the right way, we don't have to worry anymore about the world being destroyed. I mean, Reshiram and Zekrom worked hard for everyone and made a new region! So, it should be all right, I think."''<br />
:''"Yeah! So I'm never gonna forgive Team Plasma for trying to separate Pokémon and us!"''<br />
<br />
:* In Black<br />
::''"Everyone, people and Pokémon can get along and be happy. That's awesome!"''<br />
<br />
:* In White<br />
::''"Yay! Look out! I'm really, really strong, just like Drayden!"''<br />
<br />
* In Drayden's house after player receives the Legend Badge (Black only)<br />
:''"Guess what!! I can teach you the {{m|Draco Meteor|strongest Dragon-type move}}! Fun, huh? Want me to teach your Pokémon this move?"''<br />
:* Yes; if player has Pokémon in the party {{tt|that can learn the move|a Dragon-type Pokémon must have high friendship to be able to be taught Draco Meteor}}<br />
::''"OK, great! Which Pokémon should learn this move?"''<br />
::* If a Pokémon that knows Draco Meteor is selected:<br />
:::''"This one? Um, but... it looks like this Pokémon already knows Draco Meteor."''<br />
::* After one of the player's Pokémon learns Draco Meteor<br />
:::''"Draco Meteor's power is really amazing! But after you use it, your [[Stats#Special Attack|Sp. Atk stat]] goes down."<br />
:* Yes; if no Dragon-type Pokémon in the player's party can learn the move<br />
:::''"Let me see... Well, this Pokémon can learn the move, but you need to have a really strong bond of friendship first. I don't think I can teach it yet."''<br />
:* Yes; if player has no Dragon-type Pokémon in the party<br />
:::''"OK, great! Oh, but... You don't seem to have a Pokémon that can learn this move."''<br />
:* No<br />
::''"OK! Well, if you change your mind, come again, OK?"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Opelucid Gym]] (White only)'''<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"Hi! I'm Iris, the amazing strong Gym Leader! Tell me... What Pokémon are you using? How will you fight? Ooh, I'm super curious, so let's just get started!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle<br />
:''"The pain of my Pokémon... I feel it, too!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"No! Not yet! No! We can fight on!!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"Aghhhh... I did my best, but we lost..."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Whoooa! That was so cool! I'm sooo happy I could battle a Trainer as strong as you!"''<br />
<br />
:''"Hey, that's your eighth [[Badge]], right? That's so cool! Now every Pokémon will do what you ask, no matter how big they are! Know what? I'll give you this [[TM]], too!"''<br />
<br />
:''"{{m|Dragon Tail}} doesn't just do damage. It sends the other Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]], too! Ooh, hey! I wonder how Mister [[Alder]] is doing? I wonder if he's battling that Trainer called [[N]] in the [[Pokémon League]] right now? Do you know about the Pokémon League? It's past {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, at the end of {{rt|10|Unova}}!"''<br />
<br />
* Post game:<br />
:''"You've been on a journey and seen a lot of the world. I'm like that, too! I'm from way out in the country. I'm really happy that I've gotten to meet lots of different people and Pokémon!!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[N's Castle]]'''<br />
:''"No need to worry!"''<br />
:''"I won't lose! No way! No way! No way!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''<br />
:''"Oh, hey! Did you see [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]? It's too cute!"''<br />
:''"Soon, Drayden and I are going to ride the cruise ship! [[Castelia City]] is wall-to-wall people, but if I'm with him, I'll be OK!"''<br />
:''"Sometimes I think about the village where I was born, but I'm totally OK! Because I met lots of Pokémon--and all of you!"''<br />
:''"Look! Look! It's the ocean!"''<br />
:''"The ocean is so pretty. I love it! So I stayed underwater a long time. I made everyone worry!"''<br />
<br />
'''Badge Case (White only)'''<br />
:''Know what? You were very strong! I'll never forget you, ever!''<br />
<br />
===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====<br />
'''[[Castelia City]]'''<br />
<br />
* After player speaks with Clyde in front of Gym entrance<br />
: ''"Huh? Burgh vanished again?"''<br />
: ''"Hmm... Isn't Burgh always vanishing, though? He always says he's got artist's block and just goes wandering out of the Gym."''<br />
: ''"Hi there! Who are you?"''<br />
: ''"... Looking for Team Plasma? But Team Plasma disbanded two years ago!"''<br />
: ''"I guess that doesn't matter! You're having problems, so I'll help you out!"''<br />
: ''"Hmm... Now where would suspicious people go to hide?"''<br />
: ''"! That's it! That might be where they are!"''<br />
<br />
* Beside Pokémon Center<br />
: ''"Hey, c'mon! Thumb Pier is past here!"''<br />
: ''"If you mention a suspicious place in Castelia City, the only places that come to mind are Narrow Street and here!"''<br />
<br />
* Beside Thumb Pier Entrance<br />
: ''"This way! This way! C'mon! Have a look! <br />
<br />
* Near Sewer entrance<br />
: ''"You can go inside the sewers from here! Whaddaya think? Seems pretty suspicious, right?"''<br />
: ''"Yep! The sewers are a perfect place for hiding!"''<br />
<br />
* After exiting sewers<br />
: ''"! Your friend... He seemed pretty mad. Did everything go OK in the sewers? So what are you going to do now? You ran into Gym Leader Burgh in the sewers, didn't you? Maybe you should go to the Pokémon Gym and see how far you've come! I'm sure battling will help your Pokémon come to understand you better as a Trainer, too!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Opelucid City]]'''<br />
: ''"Yahoo! I haven't seen you since I ran into you in Castelia City! Are you here to battle Grandpa? Yep! Opelucid City's Gym Leader, [[Drayden]], is my grandpa. We're not really related, though! Oh! The Gym is that way! Before challenging it, you might want to go to {{rt|9|Unova}}! Still, your Pokémon really respect you! I feel how much fun your Pokémon are having, even from inside their [[Poké Ball]]s! Good luck!"''<br />
<br />
'''[[Pokémon League (Unova)|Pokémon League]]'''<br />
* When room is entered (initial)<br />
: ''"Welcome, challenger!"''<br />
: ''"I've been waiting for this!"''<br />
<br />
* If the player attempts to leave<br />
: ''"Whaa?! Where are you going?"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (initial)<br />
: ''"Know what? I really look forward to having serious battles with strong Trainers! I mean, come on! The Trainers who make it here are Trainers who desire victory with every fiber of their being! And they are battling alongside Pokémon that have been through countless difficult battles! If I battle with people like that, not only will I get stronger, my Pokémon will, too! And we'll get to know each other even better! OK! Brace yourself! I'm Iris, the Pokémon League Champion, and I'm going to defeat you!"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle (rematch)<br />
: ''"The Trainers who come here are Trainers who desire victory with every fiber of their being! And they are battling alongside Pokémon that have been through countless difficult battles! If I battle with people like that, not only will I get stronger, my Pokémon will, too! And we'll get to know each other even better! OK! Brace yourself! I'm Iris, the Pokémon League Champion, and I'm going to defeat you!"''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
: ''"The pain of my Pokémon... I feel it, too!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out last Pokémon<br />
: ''"I'll hone my mind and become one with Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* Last Pokémon at critical health<br />
: ''"No! Not yet! No! We can fight on!!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
: ''"Phew... I gave everything I had, but still... I just couldn't win... Thanks, though! We will keep aiming higher!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
: ''"Aghhhh... I did my best, but we lost..."''<br />
: ''"I'm upset I couldn't win! But you know what? More than that, I'm happy! I mean, come on. By having a serious battle, you and your Pokémon, and me and my Pokémon, we all got to know one another better than before! Yep, we sure did! OK, let's go!"''<br />
: ''"OK! Go on ahead! Hurry!"''<br />
<br />
* In the Hall of Fame room (initial)<br />
: ''"So, this room is the Hall of Fame! Your name and your Pokémon's names will be recorded here so these important things will never be forgotten: That you are an excellent and kind Trainer! That you are considerate toward your Pokémon, and you give them your whole heart! And that your wonderful Pokémon believe in their Trainer with all their hearts, and together you have a strength that knows no bounds!"''<br />
: ''"Hey, c'mon! Oh, excuse me... <player>! To the Trainer standing before me! And to the Pokémon at your side! Your beautiful bond has grown strong through battle! In order to make this bond an eternal treasure, your names shall be recorded here!"''<br />
<br />
* In the Hall of Fame room (rematch)<br />
:''"You've made it here again! Your name and your Pokémon's names will be recorded here so these important things will never be forgotten: That you are an excellent and kind Trainer!

'''[[Memory Link]] - A New Light'''<br />
:''"Yay! I did it! {{p|Haxorus}}, thank you! I won because of you!"''<br />
:''"What did you want to talk to me about, Grandpa?"''<br />
:''"Yep! I was the strongest!"''<br />
:''"I'm so glad I came to Unova! There are many different people and so many different Pokémon! And you know what... In the [[Village of Dragons]], people take living alongside Pokémon for granted. I was surprised some people in Unova didn't think that way!"''<br />
:''"[[Alder]] was smiling, though."''<br />
:''"Alder was really, really strong! And even when I felt a bit weak, he encouraged us! He said that even when their backs are against the wall, my Pokémon have an intense look in their eyes. So, that's why I won, but I feel like I still have a lot to learn."''<br />
:''"Are these new clothes? OK, I'll change into them right now!"''<br />
:''"Wooow! It's such a flowing dress!"''<br />
:''"But you were fine, right? I can tell! Your Haxorus loves you very much!"''<br />
:''"I've already decided! I know what kind of Champion I will be! There's [[Sinnoh myths#Sinnoh Region's_Mythology|a myth]] in [[Sinnoh]] that says that the reason why Pokémon jump out is because they want to thank people. I'm sure that we and Pokémon have helped each other and enriched the world since ancient times. These memories have been engraved in each Pokémon's heart! So, I want Pokémon and people to get closer and closer! As the Champion, I want to tell that to everybody!"''<br />

'I'm from Opelucid City, and I just went home for the first time in a long time. I saw [[Drayden]] and Iris counting up a big handful of coins! Isn't that setting a bad example for kids, flaunting your wealth like that?' Hmmm... That's living the high life! But you know, the Opelucid Gym Badge is shiny like a coin... Maybe you saw wrong?

[[File:Iris Drayden Adventures.png|thumb|right|270px|Iris in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
In this series, Iris is not the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym, but is simply the apprentice of Drayden. She originally lived in [[Blackthorn City]], also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], where she trained to become a master of Dragon-types. Much to Iris's chagrin, the [[Master of the Dragon Tamer Clan]] had Drayden come to take her to Unova so that he could tutor her. After arriving in Unova, Drayden introduced Iris to [[Alder]], who would also become her teacher and teaches her about spirituality.<br />
<br />
Iris first appears at the Studio Castelia to inform [[Burgh]] that {{adv|Black|a challenger}} had arrived at his Gym. When Burgh shows Iris his newest art piece, Iris insults it by saying his previous paintings were better, causing Burgh to into a slump. To cheer him back up, Iris compliments the smell of honey on Burgh's body. After Black and Burgh's Gym battle had finished, Iris barges into the Gym with an unconscious {{adv|Bianca}}. She reveals that Bianca was attacked and had Pokémon stolen by thieves. With Black's detective abilities, they find out that the thieves were [[Team Plasma]], find out their hiding place, and retrieve all of the Pokémon they had stolen. <br />
<br />
At the [[Tubeline Bridge]], Iris meets up with Black again while he trains with [[Brycen]]. There, she reveals that Drayden is her master and is training her to become a Dragon-type expert. Black had a hard time believing these claims, which got Iris annoyed at him. To prove that she is telling the truth, Iris requests a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden leaves to go on his own business and has Iris stay with Black for the duration of his training to liven things up. After Black and Brycen's Gym battle ends, Iris reluctantly informs Black that the Pokémon League's start time had been moved up from three months to one week.<br />
<br />
At the Unova Pokémon League, Iris appears as one of the competitors that made it to the top 8. There, Iris reveals that she had already gained all eight Badges before she met up with Black at the Tubeline Bridge. In the quarterfinal match, Iris is paired up against [[Zinzolin|Gray]]. Eventually she manages to win, allowing her to advance to the semifinal rounds. In the next round, Iris faces Black as her opponent. She reveals that she intends to avenge Alder's hurt pride by getting even with [[N]]. Although she proves to be a powerful Trainer, Black's determination to beat N proves stronger and he manages to win the battle. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Iris helps protect the bystanders from the Team Plasma Grunts.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Iris has been made the Opelucid Gym Leader so that Drayden can focus on solving the problems that happened after the League.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Iris (Plasma Blast 81)}}<br />
[[File:IrisPlasmaBlast101.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Full Art print of Iris]]<br />
'''Iris''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Megalo Cannon}} expansion, it later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}}, with an illustration by [[Kagemaru Himeno]]. Iris causes all attacks by the player's Pokémon to deal 10 more damage against the opponent's {{TCG|Active Pokémon}} for each {{TCG|Prize Card}} the opponent has taken.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|竜の心を 知る 娘|The girl who knows the hearts of dragons}}.<br />
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the only differences between Iris and [[Drayden]]'s teams are the genders of their Pokémon and their {{p|Druddigon}}'s Ability: Iris has an all-female team and her Druddigon has {{a|Sheer Force}}, while Drayden has an all-male team and his Druddigon has {{a|Rough Skin}}.<br />
** In White, Iris's Druddigon has no moves that take advantage of Sheer Force.<br />
* Iris and [[Clair]] are both female Gym Leaders that train Dragon-type Pokémon. Additionally, they are both the eighth Gym Leader the player challenges in Unova and Johto, respectively.<br />
* Iris is the first {{pkmn|Champion}} to keep her Japanese name.<br />
* Iris is the only Unova Gym Leader who does not have a secondary occupation.<br />
* In the Pokémon White canon, Iris and [[Wallace]] have many similarities: both were trained by Gym Leaders, were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and later became the Champion, at which point their mentors took their places in their Gyms.<br />
** However, this is not the case in the Pokémon Black canon, because unlike [[Juan]], [[Drayden]] was always the Leader of [[Opelucid Gym]] in Black, and Iris never was.<br />
** Also, in the Pokémon White canon, Iris's transition from being the eighth Gym Leader to becoming the Champion is the opposite of {{ga|Blue}}'s transition from being the Champion in [[Generation I]] and its remakes to becoming the eighth Gym Leader in [[Generation II]] and its remakes.<br />
* Iris considers Drayden to be her grandfather despite the two of them not being biologically related, affectionately referring to him as "Grandpa."<br />
* Iris is the only Champion prior to [[Generation VI]] to not participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br />
* The battle with Iris in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} is the first battle in any [[core series]] game, as well as the only one prior to [[Generation VI]], to show a character with a full-body challenge sprite.<br />
* Iris is the only Champion to not use any Pokémon that evolve from ones that take 21 [[egg cycles]] to hatch, with the lowest being 31 (for Druddigon and Archeops).<br />

== In the anime==<br />
'''Weaponry''', mainly {{wp|firearm}}s, have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} numerous times. While there is generally no concern with this as weapon use is rather mild, an extreme case [[EP035#Banning|caused one episode to be banned]]. Weapons in the anime were a common occurrence in the first half of the [[original series]], but when the Johto League story arc premiered, all kinds of real-life weapons were practically absent from the show, aside from weapons associated with [[Team Rocket's mechas]]. <br />
<br />
Weaponry continued appearing from the [[Advanced Generation series]] onwards, though less often.<br />

<br />
=== In Pokémon designs ===<br />
[[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] themselves are the primary reason weaponry is sparse in the Pokémon world: [[Pokémon battle]]s are the main method of fighting, and thus Pokémon themselves can be considered the weapons. In fact, [[Capsule Monsters|early design documents]] for the first Pokémon games mentions that they considered having trainers fight alongside their Pokémon, but this was removed because "If you can fight on your own, what’s the point of having Pokémon?" <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/4/</ref><br />
<br />
However, many Pokémon use held tools, and a portion of these can be classified as weapons. Others are modeled after real-world weaponry.<br />

<div>Now get back to [[Mitonga Island]]. And go to the lower floor of the village. Then the game shows you a cave. Go into it.<br />
<br />
== Dangerous Cliff ==<br />
As soon as you enter you see two {{pkmn|Pinchers}}. They say something about a plan and lunches. You have only two minutes to get to their base. For now go east where you see a fork in the path. Go to the north path. Then you have to call {{p|Entei}} to proceed. Go break some rocks and you reach at a fork again. The north one has two larger rocks. The south way has four smaller rocks. At the next fork, if you go south you need Raikou, keep Entei for the North path. Once you reach the other side call {{p|Raikou}} to jump over the crumbling cliffs. Once you reach the small round rocks, be careful as it will crumble if you stay on it for more than 2 <br />
seconds. Don't let go of Raikou just yet. Just a little more and you reach a Submarine. The Mission '''Foil Blue Eyes' Plan''' begins. Go in, of course.<br />

== Submarine ==<br />
<br />
There is no going back now. Now you will notice that every door has a number written near it, so from now onwards, the doors will be referred with those numbers. So now go into No. 7. And catch that {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Sandslash}}.<br />
<br />
Now go east and you see two doors with No. 6. Go in the top one. And go the upper way and catch that {{p|Luxio}}. Then come back to the entrance and go the other way, you reach a room with another {{p|Luxio}} catch it too. Then get out and go in the other No. 6. and open that Huge Gate. Proceed and you see two pinchers with 2 {{p|Gible}}. And quickly they become 6 Pinchers with a lot of [[Pokémon]]. Just you Luck. So get ready to catch 3 {{p|Gible}} and 3 {{p|Makuhita}}. After that go into No. 5. <br />
<br />
Then {{p|Pichu}} runs off. Follow it. Break that Gaint Cage. The Pokémon from [[Dolce Island]] come out along with your partner's {{p|Staraptor}}. Now back to finding [[Blue Eyes]]. Into No. 4. you go and you find {{p|Dusclops}} waiting to teleport you back to the entrance. So go past them and into door 3. There are a lot of angry Pokémon running around so it can be a bit of a challange. Get into the next room to capture 2 {{p|Rampardos}}. Then go ahead to [[Blue Eyes]]'s room. Be ready to catch {{p|Totodile}} and its evolutions. {{p|Feraligatr}} is a boss Pokémon. After the capture [[Blue Eyes]] executes Plan Z and rams the Submarine into the Ocean Floor.<br />
<br />
After the cutscene, go up the ladder into the next room. Now you have to get out in 10 minutes. Climb up and avoid the steam. In the next room climb up the left path. And jump off at the top. Then go right and climb. Then jump, climb again to the next room. Climb up the path near the {{p|Rampardos}}. Don't jump anywhere. Climb straight up in the next room. In the next room, climb up then right. The next Room has a Pichu, so you have to find it. Climb then jump, then climb and jump again to get Pichu and then climb tp the top. Catch {{p|Furret}} on the way. Move the Debris out of the way and get to the exit as now you have all the Pichu. <br />
<br />
Climb straight up, avoiding the steam. After you rescue [[Blue Eyes]] get out.<br />

<br />
Proceed and you see a conversation between some pinchers. Then {{p|Raikou}} appears and destroys the antenna Then you get to catch {{p|Raikou}}. Use [[Ground]] type PokeAssists to make it easy. Its your second boss capture and it has its rage guage full, so use Poke Assists as much as possible. The {{p|Gligar}} you caught can be useful here.<br />
<br />
After the capture you will be prompted to register the symbol you see. Its Mission Clear... for now. After you get down, you see that Burkhart has caught 2 pinchers, after a while they run away. So chase them.<br />

<div>==Fixing Pichu's Ukelele==<br />
After you get back to Booker's house, he notes that Pichu has broken its ukelele and sends you and Nick out to get the materials to fix it. The materials are on [[Dolce Island]] in a hollowed out tree stump (near the bottom of the area after you get washed up). Nick goes in and tries to get them, but accidentally disturbs six {{p|Sunkern}} who are in the bottom of the tree. Use Poké Assists to make this capture a lot easier. Afterwards, you bring the materials back to Booker, who fixes the ukelele.<br />

<br />
After getting the Ranger Points the little girl indroduces herself as [[Nema]]. Now go east and up the stairs and a boy should come running down. Then go to the exit from where the boy came from. <br />

'''Coin Case glitches''' are a variety of glitches involving the [[Coin Case]] in {{v|Gold and Silver|s}}. They all involve listening to a Pokémon's [[cry]] then immediately using the Coin Case. Due to a translation bug, the Coin Case text is improperly terminated, making the game jump to $E112 every time it is used. This section of RAM is used by the game to store data related to Pokémon cries. Depending on the Pokémon's cry listened to, one of several effects will be activated: the game may restart with an altered color scheme and possibly blocks of color placed on the screen ("Glitch Dimension" and "Shadow Puppets"), the game may freeze, or "Coin Case:" and a glitch phrase may be displayed (e.g., "which move?he PP of"). The most well known of these glitches can be performed in Pokémon Gold using the {{p|Machop}} in [[Vermilion City]].<br />

==Display alterations==<br />
<br />
===Glitch dimension===<br />
{{main|Glitch dimension}}<br />
When accessed, the game restarts in what appears as an altered color scheme. This is particularly evident in the beginning cutscene/intro movie. The entire (apparently) game can be played as normal. When the player talks to a character, gets on his bike, goes through a door/portal, opens the menu, or does any other action affecting his sprite (though not necessarily changing it), a purple block is generated depending on the position of the player. At other times, seemingly randomly, blocks of color will be generated. For example, after flying to Cinnabar Island and Surfing downwards, the water will be blue, red and green in different places. Battles will be conducted with the colors of the HP bar, names, Pokémon, and Trainers altered, and with blocks of purple. Interestingly, the blocks seem to slide across the screen as the battle begins (at the point where the stat areas and Trainer slide into view). In towns, houses, routes, and other locations, blocks of color can be made to disappear by moving so that they move off-screen. The blocks appear to not be just a display problem, because they scroll with the map. This is apparently caused by the game thinking that it is being played on a Classic [[Game Boy]].<br />
<br />
When a [[Cheating#Cheating_devices|cheating device]] is used to walk through objects, in some cases where the game does not [[Game freeze|freeze]] when the player walks out of the {{tt|game|When you walk past formatted boundaries, such as into the black space inside a house.}}, the game will restart in a "clean" glitch dimension where the background of the title screen is grey and has no blocky effects. Gameplay will be virtually the same, the only difference being; when a person is talked to, glitch dimension blocks will appear.<br />
<br />
When the color scheme is altered in the title sequence to display {{p|Ho-Oh}} in color, this can only be done in Gold version. It will not work in Silver version and will not display {{p|Lugia}} in color.<br />

<br />
===Shadow Theater===<br />
Everything is completely white, except for the sprites (such as the player character, the NPCs, the Game Freak logo at the beginning). The sprites are either black, extremely darkened, dark blue, or near white. Sometimes an already-dark sprite will become white. Sprites with areas of high contrast (near black near white combinations) will appear partially black and partially white. Menus are not visible, but it is possible to navigate through them by memory. When viewing the PokéGear only the arrow selector pointing upwards is visible in the upper-left corner. During battles, the images of the Pokémon are not visible, but the blacked-out move graphics are. The specific cause of this is unknown, but is probably related to the cause of the Glitch Dimension.<br />

==Arbitrary code execution==<br />
<br />
====Perfect EVs====<br />
When the game jumps to $E112, it starts executing data related to [[Pokémon]] cries as machine instructions. In particular, when {{key|II|Coin Case}} is used after hearing {{p|Machop}}'s cry, the game will eventually reach address $E912. Data around that address is related to the overworld and can be manipulated through moving around in different patterns. When exiting Professor Elm's Laboratory and moving four steps to the right (prior to using the Coin Case after hearing to a {{p|Machop}}'s cry), the game will jump to address $FA98, which is in the middle of the data of the third Pokémon in the player's party. The game can therefore be made to execute specific code, based on the Pokémon's attributes such as species, item held, ..., by deliberately placing party Pokémon. By placing a specific species of Pokémon in the fourth slot of the party with the correct held item and first move, the game's execution may even be made to jump to the memory area that stores the items deposited in the player's PC, where code will execute based on the identifier and quantity of the items in the PC.<br />
{{Youtubevid|JEOOCpNTx88|Crystal_|Silver}}<br />
<br />
====Unused Memorygame====<br />
The glitch can be used for executing the code for the unused memorygame. The player needs a {{p|Quagsire}}, which holds the item HP-UP and a new captured [[Pokémon]], which does not hold a item. Also the player needs the following items in his PC in the following order:<br />
*Max Recive x1<br />
*Full Restore x4<br />
*PP UP x56<br />
*X-Accuracy x99<br />
*Blackglasses x44<br />
*Dire Hit x44<br />
*Dire Hit x44<br />
*TM 16<br />
Then the player have to go back to Professor Elm's Laboratory, save the game, exit and moving four steps to the right. If you now hear the cry of a {{p|Bellsprout}}, it is possible to enter the memorygame by opening the {{key|II|Coin Case}}.<br />

<div>[[File:Chigusa.png|thumb|250px|Chigusa]]<br />
'''Chigusa''' (Japanese: '''チグサ''' ''Chigusa'') is a [[character of the day]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]''.<br />
<br />
She is the {{pkmn|Trainer}} of a {{p|Hitmontop}} and is the granddaughter of a Dojo master, {{jo|Kenzo}}. Kenzo wanted {{Ash}}, whom he only just recently met, to be his heir after a fight with Chigusa, because he thought she didn't take martial arts seriously. In the end, after {{pkmn|battle|battling}} Ash, Chigusa learned to appreciate fighting. Her grandfather was too old to battle "Dojo Destroyer" [[Shiro]], who wanted to take over Kenzo's dojo. Chigusa took his place however and defeated Shiro. Kenzo then agreed on having Chigusa being his successor. <br />

During the battle, he didn't do so well the first time, as he was overwhelmed by Hitmonlee's attacks. The match got interrupted as {{TRT}} appeared, ending the battle. Team Rocket was defeated, but the battle was postponed. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] then trained Hitmontop for his rematch.

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Squirtle}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blastoise''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Blastoisinite}}.<br />
<br />
Blastoise is the [[version mascot]] of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] and international versions of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart of both.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Blastoise is a large, bipedal tortoise-like Pokémon. Its body is dark blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a pale yellow underside and a white ridge between the upper and lower halves, which also encircles the arms. Two powerful water cannons reside in the top sides of its shell. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn and can be used to assist in high-speed charges. Blastoise's head has triangular ears which are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick and striated with three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. It has a stubby tail.<br />
<br />
As Mega Blastoise, it develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with their own water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of {{tt|over 6 miles|10 km}}.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Blastoise</ref> Its eyes turn red, and its ears angle backwards. It has a small point on its chin.<br />
<br />
The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back are capable of producing water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete. Blastoise deliberately makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts, and it will crush its opponents with its bulk. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}.<br />

Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey|another Trainer's]] {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned: this could be because Mewtwo didn't need more than one copy of each Pokémon and it already had their clones.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
''"Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating.

====Trophy information====<br />
=====Blastoise=====<br />
''"On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though&mdash;those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!"''<br />
<br />
=====Mega Blastoise=====<br />
'''NA''': ''"Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two."''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': "''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''"<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.<br />
* In Pokémon Stadium 2, there is a Trainer in the eighth battle of Poké Cup Ultra Ball R-2 who has a Blastoise with both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. However, it is impossible to breed both of these moves on the same Blastoise until Generation III.<br />
* Blastoise is the only fully evolved single type Kanto [[starter]] (not including the starters in Yellow Version).<br />
* Mega Blastoise has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all non-legendary {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Its design appears to be a mix of a {{wp|sea turtle}} and a {{wp|tortoise}}, further mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in {{wp|mussel}}s and some other shellfish, thus its {{pkmn|category}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Blastoise's name is a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.<br />
<br />
Kamex comes from the Japanese word 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise/turtle) and possibly マックス ''max'' (maximum).<br />

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Squirtle}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blastoise''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Blastoisinite}}.<br />
<br />
Blastoise is the [[version mascot]] of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] and international versions of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart of both.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Blastoise is a large, bipedal tortoise-like Pokémon. Its body is dark blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a pale yellow underside and a white ridge between the upper and lower halves, which also encircles the arms. Two powerful water cannons reside in the top sides of its shell. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn and can be used to assist in high-speed charges. Blastoise's head has triangular ears which are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick and striated with three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. It has a stubby tail.<br />
<br />
As Mega Blastoise, it develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with their own water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of {{tt|over 6 miles|10 km}}.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Blastoise</ref> Its eyes turn red, and its ears angle backwards. It has a small point on its chin.<br />
<br />
The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back are capable of producing water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete. Blastoise deliberately makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts, and it will crush its opponents with its bulk. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
=====Blastoise=====<br />
''"On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though&mdash;those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!"''<br />
<br />
=====Mega Blastoise=====<br />
'''NA''': ''"Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two."''<br />
<br />
'''PAL''': "''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''"<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.<br />
* In Pokémon Stadium 2, there is a Trainer in the eighth battle of Poké Cup Ultra Ball R-2 who has a Blastoise with both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. However, it is impossible to breed both of these moves on the same Blastoise until Generation III.<br />
* Blastoise is the only fully evolved single type Kanto [[starter]] (not including the starters in Yellow Version).<br />
* Mega Blastoise has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all non-legendary {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Its design appears to be a mix of a {{wp|sea turtle}} and a {{wp|tortoise}}, further mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in {{wp|mussel}}s and some other shellfish, thus its {{pkmn|category}}.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Blastoise's name is a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.<br />
<br />
Kamex comes from the Japanese word 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise/turtle) and possibly マックス ''max'' (maximum).<br />

'''Infernape''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴウカザル''' ''Goukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.<br />

==Biology==<br />
Infernape is a bipedal, primate-like Pokémon that is primarily reddish-brown with sections of white fur on its chest, head, and lower legs. Several gold markings adorn its body: swirled, circular ones on its knees and shoulders flame-shaped ones on the back of its hands, and a stripe around its back that forms two swirls on its chest. On top of its head is a large flame, which is never extinguished. Infernape has an orange, rounded muzzle, long, round ears with blue inside, and a red ridge over its eyes. The eyes themselves are blue with yellow sclera. There are five blue digits on both its feet and hands, and it has a long tail. This quick Pokémon practices a unique kind of martial art that involves all of its limbs. This style uses fiery punches and kicks as well.<br />

====Trophy Information====<br />
'''NA''': ''Infernape's flames burn like a raging inferno - that's probably how it got its name.

<br />
'''PAL''': ''Doesn't the name just conjure up images of this fair creature living a peaceful life in a forest of ferns? You know, In-fern-ape. ...What, you think it's actually to do with "inferno"? Hmm... Well, maybe... Anyway, it has a crown of fire that never goes out, and combines flames and fighting in a way that looks like some kind of fire dance.''<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, since {{p|Empoleon}} is immune to {{type|Poison}} attacks and {{p|Torterra}} is immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks.<br />
* Infernape shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.<br />
* Infernape is the only fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]] who has no base stats that are divisible by 5.<br />
* Infernape is the shortest fully evolved starter Pokémon.<br />
* Infernape is the fastest {{t|fire}} type [[starter Pokémon]].<br />
===Origin===<br />
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in its design as well as its Japanese name are most likely linked to Son Goku, the Japanese interpretation of the character {{wp|Sun Wukong}}. Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese epic ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}'' and is a monkey with powerful abilities. It is also similar to the {{wp|Vanara}}, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic {{wp|Ramayana}}. It is most likely based off the martial art {{wp|Muay Thai}} which uses all the limbs and possibly {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, another type of martial arts. It may have also be loosely based on Crazy Monkey Defense, a boxing style that incorporated elements from other martial arts such as Muay Thai.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Infernape is a combination of ''inferno'' and ''{{wp|ape}}''<br />
<br />
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'' (hellfire or inferno) and 猿 ''saru'' ({{wp|monkey}}).<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello! Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pokéfan95&action=edit&section=new| leave a message]. It is best to leave a message to me between 10:30 AM and 8:00 PM. My time in my country is {{#expr:{{#expr:{{#timel:G}}+08}} mod 24}}:{{#time:i}} (13:00=1:00PM, 14:00=2:00PM, and vice versa). The time shown here is sometimes incorrect, so I suggest you to do a null edit before messaging me, whether the time is correct or not to make my time correct. To do a null edit, go to "edit this page" and '''save without any changes.''' Don't worry, that edit is actually not saved, and it will not alert me. You can also purge by clicking the clock instead, but if it persists, try the null edit method.<br> <br><br />

==Re:About the edit I did in the Mew glitch article==<br />
:Hi Pokéfan95. When you escape from a long-range Trainer, the A button is still 'half functionable' even though pressing A on a sign will have no effect as it can be used to make NPCs turn, but they will not talk to you. For some reason, unlike other text boxes, even after escaping from the long-range Trainer you can still bring up the "(player) turned on the PC" message when you press A in front of the PC. I'm unsure why this is an exception but it is. [https://youtu.be/v9XqQQegh_M?t=13 Here] is a section of one of my videos showing this in action. Thanks for asking me. I wanted to put more information in the summary but there wasn't enough space. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 09:12, 2 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Using "you" ==<br />
<br />
Just a heads up, please avoid using "you" when you edit mainspace pages, [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Style of writing; editing, bias, and opinion|as this is unprofessional]]. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 09:38, 3 April 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Warning users about preview button ==<br />
<br />
Hi, when you want to warn users to use the preview button to prevent making multiple edits, instead of typing a whole message, you can just use [[Template:Preview button|<code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>Preview button<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]]. This gives the whole message, and evens signs by itself. But remember to use <code>subst:</code> with it. Thanks! → <small><i>signed comment from [[User talk:PikaTepig999|<span style="color:#000;">PikaTepig999</span>]]</i></small> 04:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Ok, thanks for that code! That will help me in the future. [[User:Pokéfan95|Pokéfan95]] ([[User talk:Pokéfan95|talk]]) 04:15, 7 April 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Edit Summary ==<br />

Please keep your edit summaries clean, don't use expletives or rude language that may offend others.

:I am sorry. I know someone will write this in my talk page. Look here: [[Talk:Nero#I_did_not_mean_ass_in_my_edit.|Talk:Nero]]. My edit summary is not intentional. I am using an Ipad Safari, and I accidentally touched the Enter button, making my edit saved I am not angry that my opinion failed. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since1995]]~~-- 02:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
::That's okay. Also, I think it would've just been better if you'd respond here rather than making a new section on Nero's talk page.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#AB2813">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#C87365">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#26649C">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#729ABF">ire</span>]] 03:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::Sorry to barge into this discussion, but I do want to note that Pokéfan95 made their section prior to you creating this section. (Granted, I can see why it might not be the right place, unless you assume they were making the section to correct their summary as you were deleting it due to the time being the same, but there was no section to respond to at the time that Pokéfan95 made their section.) {{unsigned|Super goku}}<br />
::::Yeah, noticed that whilst removing the section.

==Re:Try this./Subukan mo ito==<br />
Hi, thanks for the info about it, though I'm not very fluent in Filipino as my friends I can still understand, I'm just not that great iun speaking it, but thanks anyway :) [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]05:24, 14 April 2015 (UTC)<br />

==My [[Pal Park]] edit undone by you==<br />
I was merely drawing attention to the image in question and [[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] reinstated the {{template|Bad image}} tag on [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Palparkbox.png the image]. Seems like the tag I originally put should be put back on [[Pal Park]]? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 22:02, 17 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:He used the same template as you used, but his reason is different than you. Abcboy's reason is: "JPG artifacts, should be recaptured as a PNG". What you say is that the photo must be .jpg, not .png. In a simple way, the photo still have JPG artifacts even though it is converted into PNG. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 01:02, 18 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
::That is not what I said at all. To clarify my statement of "JPEG saved as a PNG", the original image was saved as a JPEG (unknown source) and that JPEG was converted to PNG preserving the JPEG artifacts (the current image on the archives). --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 08:26, 18 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::If that is your point, you gotta make your reason a bit more understanding. I just thought that the image must be .jpg. Sorry. Atleast Abcboy fixed it. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 11:09, 18 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::Even though it doesn't really matter so much now because Abcboy made it easier to understand why the image was unsatisfactory when translated, but since I can tell that English is not your native language, would "JPEG converted to PNG" translate better than "JPEG saved as a PNG"? I just want to know so I can improve my communication skills with non-native English speakers. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 22:42, 19 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::::"JPEG saved as a PNG" is better, as "JPEG converted to PNG" made me think more that it must be saved as JPG. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 04:00, 20 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Filipino Template ==<br />
<br />
Hi Pokéfan! Thanks for making the template. But you didn't have to message me with translation. I know how to speak and understand English vocabulary efficiently. I felt a bit offended. But, I still thank you. Just please don't do that again. OA ka naman kasi eh... Hindi joke lang. No problem bro! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 03:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Ah, sorry if I offended you a bit. It is not my intention to offend you, because the English translation is for others that will read my message, while the Filipino translation is for Filipinos. Have a nice day! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 11:11, 18 April 2015 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Templates ==<br />
<br />
The point of requiring templates to be made in the userspace is so that you don't use the template on the mainspace before it can be approved. <small>[[User:Glik|glik]]</small><sup>[[User talk:Glik|glak]]</sup> 22:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Area Images ==<br />
<br />
Just a heads-up, I uploaded Diamond Crater and Pearl Marsh area images a few minutes ago, and Black Realm was my first successful upload yesterday. Pattyman already helped with uploads of White Ruins, Fairy Land, Dark Land, Origin Hideaway, Starlight Islands, Distortion Land, Plasma Tundra, and Legend Terrain (before I was autoconfirmed at Archives); [[Origin Hideaway]] and [[Legend Terrain]] are already on the articles in my userspace (Origin is pretty much ready, but I wanted to update images on the existing mainspace articles before moving it) while the other three will be added to the articles for those areas in my userspace. That means nine still have to go on articles.<br />
<br />
I see now that you got Ruby Volcano and Gold Plateau; I was just about to upload Gold Plateau myself and noticed that, so I'll just upload Silver Isles right now. After that, do you want to get the three starters and Sapphire Sea? I'm stalling my game as I just got Bastion of Beginnings Special a couple of hours ago and caught my Arceus, but going to go Plate hunting and also try to get Mew with the best possible odds of it appearing; I took the Silver Isles image before that. I don't see an issue with some stages having stars as it also shows the fact that there are different levels of stages, so just the quick set of snapshots should be fine in the case of the last four. May I however suggest renaming the two images you added to match the others? "Gold Plateau Rumble World" and "Ruby Volcano Rumble World" matches the other upload names and should also help you find the other 12 (including Silver Isles here) if you want to add the ones for articles already in mainspace; I'll do any other modifications to the image files and image tags later so everything is consistent. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:35, 1 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Actually, I changed my mind; we should use PNG, so I'm uploading a replacement Gold Plateau at the same form of file location. Ruby Volcano is therefore still needed. I've been posting them to my Miiverse and grabbing the pictures that way since we can do that! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
::Updating this: all images and pages currently available have been added and mainspaced. Now looking at others I've added to Archives for using in places. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:53, 1 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::Well, thanks for helping. And yes, my uploads must be PNG, but I can't use my computer right now, as I am using my Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. But I will try to help. And I accept to rename my pictures, because I am in a hurry (because my 3DS battery is going to be 0%), so I didn't make it a somewhat good name. I am also focusing in raising my Adventure rank, so I can't buy the balloons also now. And I don't prefer to purchase Jewels, so can you do the job for me please? I am still young to purchase those (and I am sure that my parents won't alllow me) Jewels. I will also convert the uploads to PNG if I can now use my computer. And sorry for my bad English! I am not a native speaker of English, though... Anyways, thanks! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 00:56, 2 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::I have a better idea for screenshots. Post to Miiverse. See [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHj0pvNZ7w this post] which you will see is identical to a picture I uploaded.<br />
::::The how-to: open up something in the game, or get to a battle (for instance, let's say you find Entei). Go to the Home menu, effectively pausing the game. You go right into the Rumble World community provided your Miiverse is set up. Type a post - something like "Going to Silver Isles to catch a whopper Qwilfish" - include the screenshot by tapping the upper-right corner and selecting it, and then post. Once it's posted, find a friendly computer or laptop and open Paint, visit your Miiverse profile's activity feed, and drag the image into Paint by grabbing it and scrolling it over the window; there's the keyboard shortcut to change windows (Alt-Tab) that you can use as well so you don't have to shrink windows, as that works while you're dragging. Once the image is in Paint, you can save to the desired file format and you have a PNG. =) The same thing works if you get something in-game that you think would be great for uploading to the site; pause to Home, post on Miiverse, and create a Paint of it. (You have to drag into Paint or another program - Paint's easy enough - since you can't save the image properly in the browser; you can't select the file type and have to use another program, anyway, so I do it to save time.)<br />
::::If you don't have access to a computer, then let me know. I can grab the images for you and convert them for uploading. Doesn't matter what stars and bosses are there; I'll just label the Pokémon like I have in the pages from the Gold and Silver Balloons and onwards. We already include the Pokémon categories for whoever's in the shot at Archives, anyway! I did take your idea of referencing the Balloon Stop in the caption and implement that, however, so thanks for that! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::::Oh, I forgot the printscreen button method! Thanks for making me remember it! I will do that next time when I am uploading screenshots. And I have access to my computer. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 07:47, 2 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::::When a new Ruby is uploaded, go ahead and request the other to be deleted at Archives. I'll follow up on categorization and captions, so just do what you can. =) Do you have all of Sapphire Sea and the three starter Balloons? Everything beyond that is taken care of. Also, I wasn't talking about Printscreen; try grabbing the image on my post and you can drag the image around. That gets the whiole thing into Paint without having to crop. Takes five seconds to drag and save. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:23, 2 May 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Talk pages ==<br />

Hi, I know you just want to help others, but could you please hold back on posting in talk pages. Some of them just look like you are intruding in on a conversation.

== Incorrect Time ==<br />
<br />
Click on the clock at the top of the page to purge the page. The information you are loading on the page is from cached page loads, and clearing the cache by purging corrects your view of the time. It's not wrong, it's just slow to update. [[Legend Terrain]] has an example of this as well where the Arceus type changes daily; you might find the previous day's type showing under the 00:01 time and so on, but if you click the clock, you get an update.

:Yes, because that question is actually yours. Feel free to add more information. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 08:01, 20 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Okay, thanks for the help.<br />

== Logos ==<br />
<br />
But the red colour version of Indigo League logo will never be available as it has completed its initial run long ago. So then, if the original XY logo is not needed, then is the Indigo League logo too not required or both are required then?

== Interwikis ==<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
<br />
I was wondering; can I add interwiki links even if the page they lead to are not created yet ? (oh, and patrolling my edits would be great, thanks for attention) -- [[User:N_tonio36|<span style="font-family:Segoe UI">N_tonio36</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:N_tonio36|<span style="font-family:Arial Sans">Talk here</span>]]</sup> 11:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry, but what I know is that you must not interlink to another language page (such as Poképedia) that doesn't exist. It is much better if you ask an admin. I just noticed you are part of the staff of Poképedia, so why not create them first in your wiki, then add the interwiki link here. Thank you! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 12:01, 27 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== {{template|HM}} vs {{template|hm}} ==<br />
<br />
The redirect, {{template|hm}}, exists so it can be used. Do not make any further edits changing it, or any other capitalization-based template redirect use. Thank you. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 07:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Okay. <small>Actually, I really don't like redirects that redirect to templates.</small> --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 07:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Shuffle ==<br />
<br />
I'll take your lead. Do you mind if I do section edits starting from the bottom? I can take care of the Expert stages, Pedra Valley, and Wacky Workshop to start. Special stages can wait.<br />
<br />
Even so, it may not matter much what we do now, as new pages will likely be created soon. See [[User:Abcboy/Puerto Blanco]]. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:52, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:You can do that first. I will be back in sometime. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 04:55, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
::BTW, don't leave Bulbasaur down the entire page. Keep in mind this is a live page. I'm removing them all for the time being, but will comment the Bulbasaur bit and put column widths in to get formatting out of the way. I'll post here when I'm done. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:03, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::There, all set. I'll give you instructions for how to quickly edit the entire page so you can do much of this quickly, and in only one or two (maybe three) edits using the Preview function (this is where "inuse" is useful, perhaps, since you should preview).<br />
:::Before editing, open all of the Pokémon in order and write down (or use a Notepad) their NDex numbers. You will need these. Keep them in order, preferably with a table split (if you don't have 10 or 15, for instance, go back and look for a missing one).<br />
:::*1. Click the "Edit this page" button. Not the section button, the entire thing.<br />
:::*2. Use the "Find" function to find the first stage, in this case by searching for "Happiny", which tops "Sandy Bazaar".<br />
:::*3. You'll notice I commented out Bulbasaur there. I did that in every single table straight down to Stage 200 simply to set width in the first entry; the width is not needed on successive entries. I actually edited some Rumble U tables that had it on every row because they do nothing on the later rows since the width is already set.<br />
:::*4. Remove the comment tags, then copy the entire template call to the clipboard (Ctrl-C or choose "Copy"; "Cut" does the same but removes it where it currently is).<br />
:::*5. Starting at Happiny (who is #440 in the NDex BTW), start pasting the template call in and putting the Pokédex number in place of the 001. That's it for each row. Remember that list I said to create for each table? =) There's only the one enpty cell in each row, so it should be easy to figure out where to paste the template (under the stage number).<br />
:::*6. After each table, click Preview. Check that table. Change anything that doesn't look right.<br />
:::*7. Move to the next table and go back to step 5 (except that Happiny doesn't lead each following table LOL).<br />
:::Following that guide, you can do it all in one edit. Right-click the History link into a new window to make sure there are no conflicting edits before you submit your finished work; if you see any new edits, you can try to incorporate them into the entire page copy you have by finding that part of the page and copying the change in. Don't worry if you mess something up there, I watch the page (as do others) and it will be fixed. =) Note that the formatting is only done to the end of the main stages so far, so just do those for now. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:29, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::I forgot something. This is important. MEGA IS THERE. Use the same Pokédex number and add an "M" to the end of the number. That will get the Mega picture! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:33, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::::Thank you for that advise. Again, I will be offline for a while (because I need to reserve my iPad battery for my dad). Atleast, I have my trusty computer to use! =) --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 05:56, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::::PLEASE KEEP THE "width=40px" ON THE FIRST ROW OF THE TABLE. It does column spacing for the entire table; with it removed, the table tries to auto-size both columns and it doesn't match the other tables - ever. It looks more professional if tables with identical types of content look identical. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:28, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Whoops, sorry about that. I will avoid to remove that next time. Thanks! --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 06:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
::::::::Alright, Expert and Special are all done, and I did Pedra as well since it's at the end. I'll leave everything through Wacky Workshop to you. I actually got an edit conflict trying to edit the little section on adding a line break somewhere, which is funny since you weren't on that table and my other edits didn't seem to conflict with you. LOL<br />
::::::::Good on catching the male and female Meowstic images, BTW; I hadn't brought that up. Feel free to check for any errors I may have made in the images I added; I think they're all correct, though. Have a nice evening, I'm off to bed. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 07:19, 14 June 2015 (UTC)<br />

== There's no need to be rude ==<br />
<br />
I thought that was hardly a rumour since they pretty much admitted it. [[User:CrashBash|CrashBash]] ([[User talk:CrashBash|talk]]) 21:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:I am not being rude, and my edit summary is wrong (sorry!). But even though [[Miette]] has really a crush on {{Ash}}, this relationship doesn't belong to that article. That will belong instead in shipping. Since I am not a staff member, ask {{u|Kenji-girl}} instead, the Head of Anime. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 09:18, 19 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Sorry, I probably should have explained myself better. It came across as a whisker rude to me, that's all, since it felt you were ordering me to make an article, wherein I would have no idea how to. Again, my apologies. [[User:CrashBash|CrashBash]] ([[User talk:CrashBash|talk]]) 13:08, 19 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::That's okay. It is normal for users to get offended if their edit is undid. I have been also experiencing like that also. But I think I never message a user that they are rude, I just want to get out of trouble by moving on if possible. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 03:16, 20 June 2015 (UTC)<br />
